Select VA Clinics Reopen for Non-Coronavirus Care

According to an article published by Military Times, “Fourteen of the 20 of the sites reopening operations have at least one patient still actively receiving treatment for the fast-spreading illness. In a statement, VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said the “lead sites” will help to inform officials on how other facilities can expand services in coming weeks and months.”

Wilkie continued by saying, “The safety of veterans and staff is the highest priority when we consider how we provide health care services and procedures during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic…[The] VA will take into account guidance from various agencies including federal, state, and local government as we gradually expand health care services.”
