COVID-19 Series: Hospitals & Tele-Medicine
06/16/20 • 19 min
This week’s TEMS Time is being recorded as Virginian’s enter the second week of the phase two reopening process after the Coronavirus quarantine. The Governor’s statewide mandate requiring anyone in an indoor public space to wear a face mask is still in effect. Hospitals are also now allowing most non-COVID patients to have limited visitors. All visitors are being screened and having their temperatures taken by a no-touch device before entering the hospital and they are also of course required to wear a mask. Our guest on this week’s TEMS Time is on top of all those hospital regulations and a lot more... that’s because Genemarie McGee is responsible for the oversight and coordination of nursing care across the Sentara system. Genemarie is the Corporate Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer for Sentara Healthcare.

COVID-19 Series: Emergency Preparedness & Response
We have been dealing with the corona virus and quarantine as a nation since March. At the time of this recording the state of Virginia is in phase two of reopening and it seems to be going well... no huge spikes in our numbers. But several states are seeing the numbers spike and are even talking about reissuing stay at home orders. Of course we all hope that does not happen ... that’s why we are still under a statewide mandate requiring anyone in an indoor public space to wear a face mask. We’re being asked to maintain social distancing and keep at least six feet of space between us.. happy to say we are practicing all of those safety precautions here in our studio today because for the first time we actually have a guest who is joining us in person instead of on the phone. I’m happy to say the Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response for the City of Norfolk, Virginia Jim Redick is with us in the studio...
