Covid Guidance Update

Safety remains our highest priority as LSSH continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidelines remain in place to ensure the safety of everyone and reduce risk of infection. Below is a summary of the expectations for all visitors and healthcare workers that enter LSSH.

EXPAND
MASKS

Louisiana Department of Health recommends that everyone entering LSSH wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.

  • This includes all patients, visitors, and members of our team, even in non-clinical areas
  • Masks may be removed when eating/drinking in designated areas
 
SCREENING

Everyone will be screened upon entry to LSSH for symptoms, including:

  • Fever greater than or equal to 100.4°F
  • Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion that differs from their typical seasonal allergies
  • Body aches
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of smell/taste

  • Active COVID infection/pending testing or recent exposure

Anyone that answers “YES” to any of the screening symptoms, will not be allowed entry into the facility.

 
PRE-OPERATIVE TESTING
  • Preoperative COVID-19 testing is performed at the request of your physician.
 
SOCIAL DISTANCING

Everyone is expected to maintain a social distance (6 feet or more) when appropriate

 
VISITATION GUIDELINES
  • All patients are allowed two healthy visitors over the age of 18 to accompany them to the hospital. Exceptions are made for pediatric and special needs patients.
VACCINES

We strongly encourage everyone in Acadiana to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated.

My son had his adenoids taken out and tubes put in. Everybody from the front desk to recovery was awesome! My toddler was a handful but they did everything they could to make all of us comfortable.
-Sydney
My husband and I both have chronic illnesses so we have been in numerous hospitals. This was the most pleasant experience we have ever had. The staff was very accommodating and when you called the nurses station someone came to the room immediately. The food was even the best hospital food. Recommend to anyone.
