Covid-19 Information

Updated 8/31/24

Face masks are optional for patients, visitors, and staff at all WWMG clinics.

Masks are optional in all WWMG clinics for patients, staff, and visitors. Thank you for respecting each person’s choice.

WWMG’s masking policy is set in alignment with the Snohomish County Health Department and Northwest Healthcare Response Network, based on rates of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV in the community. Universal masking in healthcare facilities is required when Emergency Room visits for disease transmission exceeds certain thresholds. As of 8/31/24, ER visits are below the threshold. See https://www.snohd.org/546/respiratory-illness-dashboard for more details.

We will continue to monitor and update our masking policy as conditions change. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We are continuing to offer in-office and telehealth appointments. Our primary goal remains keeping you healthy and safe. Thank you for your cooperation.

Patient Safety – We continue to take precautions to ensure the safety of our patients and staff by screening patients, cleaning the waiting room frequently, disinfecting exam rooms between patients, and providing masks for patients, caregivers, and our staff.

Telehealth Option – If you prefer a telehealth appointment, most of our providers offer a virtual option. You’ll have a face-to-face video visit with your provider, receive evaluation and (if needed) a prescription, without leaving your home.

COVID-19 Testing – testing is available in the community for those with or without symptoms. You can get tested before you travel or return to work, or just to know whether or not you have the virus. Fully vaccinated people should get tested if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
