COVID-19 update from VCU Health

Share this story

Due to the spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and locally in the Richmond area, VCU Health is sharing two important updates.

We have changed our visitor policy for all VCU Health System hospitals and clinics. Effective immediately, all routine visitation is suspended until the transmission of COVID-19 is no longer a threat to our patients, visitors and employees. For additional details on our visitor policy and to view ongoing updates, visit this page.

Additionally, as confirmed by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center is caring for its first confirmed COVID-19 patient. We are working closely with VDH and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to manage the care of patients with this virus. Our top priority continues to be ensuring that our medical center remains safe for all patients, team members, and visitors, and our entire team is well-prepared to handle this evolving situation.

We will share additional information about operational changes as they become available at vcuhealth.org/covid-19.
