Are you aware of Adams County Memorial Hospital’s new policy that patients with known Covid can now share a waiting room with all the other patients, without notifying the patients of this policy. My daughter has COVID-19 and was told this yesterday, verified by the administrator, she also verified this with the health department and they were aware.
