COVID-19 Information for ILPQC Hospital Teams
Given these unprecedented times, we wanted to reach out and express our support to all of you on the front lines caring for pregnant women and their newborns across the state. We share your concern for the health of our patients and for the health of each of you, your colleagues and families.
As this is a rapidly evolving public health pandemic, we will continue to provide updates to ILPQC teams that we receive from national and state sources regarding the care of pregnant women and newborns during the COVID-19 crisis and will additionally post information we receive on the ILPQC website. We encourage you to take into consideration the most recently available local health department and CDC guidance when developing your internal protocols. All the information on this website is published in good faith and for general information purposes only.
