Catalina Island COVID-19 Testing Update, March 27th
Date Posted: March 27, 2020
We have received many requests about the results from patients that have been tested for possible COVID-19. Since March 15th, 2020 six patients have been tested for possible COVID-19 and all have negative results. Prior to today, the number of patients tested were too small for CI Health to allow for this information be released to the public without possibly divulging protected patient information of the individuals being tested. We appreciate the community’s understanding of CI Health’s strict values of protecting our patient’s confidentiality.
Catalina Island Health recommends exercising an abundance of caution in handling this illness. CI Health recommends practicing good hygiene as a precaution to keep our community and continue social distancing. We will continue assessing the situation as it evolves and keep the community updated. Please give advanced notice before visiting a health care facility or when calling 911.
