Due to high flu activity across South Carolina, the Columbia VA Health Care System is implementing immediate visitor restrictions to help protect the health and safety of our Veterans, staff, and community.
Effective immediately:
• Visitors must be 16 years of age or older at all Columbia VA locations, including the Community Living Center (CLC).
• Please only enter a Columbia VA medical center or clinic if you are feeling well and have not been exposed to anyone with a respiratory illness.
• Hand hygiene is required upon entry and exit of all facilities.
• Anyone who develops respiratory symptoms while on-site should promptly leave clinical areas and seek testing and treatment if indicated.
We appreciate your cooperation and support as we work together to keep our Veterans and facilities safe during flu season.
