COVID-19 PREVENTION POLICY

ACC Medlink is committed to the safety and health of all our patients and crew. Given the coronavirus’s unfortunate spread, we recognize the need for extra vigilance and care for the safety and well-being of our patients and staff. We continuously adapt and review our Covid-19 policy and procedures according to the latest government guidelines.

We go above the CDC guidelines and sterilize all equipment including our transport vans with approved chemicals and UV Light.

• We maintain a stringent cleaning protocol for our premises and vehicles, with increased cleaning in high contact areas and direct-contact areas.
• The interior of our vans are cleaned continuously and sterilized with an approved disinfectant.
• We subject the interior of our medical transport vehicles to UV light treatment to maintain hygiene and kill any remaining viruses.
• We have provided hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes in our vehicles for easy cleaning and disinfectant of surfaces.
• Where possible and safe to do so, we ensure our vehicles’ windows are open to promote continuous airflow and circulation.
• These protocols are repeated after each use and/or as needed.
