In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, SouthRiver has taken steps to protect the health of our patients and visitors. We have set up appropriate patient screening, and we are providing guidance to our staff members on how to deal with the possibility of COVID-19 cases.
What About Testing
SouthRiver is unable to test for Covid-19 at its clinics. Patients with fever, cough or shortness of breath will be screened for possible medical referral.
