Required Face Coverings:
Hospitals in Northeast Central Ohio (NECO Region) have carefully evaluated revised guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the State of Ohio, and other sources such as, Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and have determined hospital staff and visitors will continue to wear masks in the healthcare setting, regardless of vaccination status.
It is well recognized that in the healthcare setting, extra precautions are necessary to protect our vulnerable patient populations. This means that staff, patients, and visitors should continue to wear masks as recommended, in all healthcare facilities. NECO hospitals rely on the partnership of our visitors to help ensure the safety of our patients, this includes wearing a mask, not visiting if you are sick or have a temperature, hand-washing and following hospital visitation guidelines. Mask wearing and patient visitor guidelines will continue to be monitored and enforced at area hospitals.
New information presented by credible sources, such as the CDC, will continue to be evaluated and changes to these polices will be made, when appropriate. Our greatest concern is for the health and safety of our patients.

Salem Regional Medical Center (SRMC) offers a treatment for individuals diagnosed with COVID-19, to help reduce the risk of developing severe disease, hospitalization and death. The treatment is monoclonal antibody therapy, which is administered via IV or injection to those who are at high risk of developing severe symptoms or hospitalization from the virus. A physician’s order is required to receive monoclonal treatment.
What is Antibody Therapy: Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that mimic the immune system’s ability to fight off the virus.
Who is Eligible for Treatment: Monoclonal antibodies may help those who have a positive COVID-19 test, and had symptoms for 10 days or less and are at high risk of getting more serious symptoms.
The treatment is not authorized for patients who are already hospitalized with COVID-19 or who require oxygen due to the virus.
For More Info: A physician’s order is needed for antibody therapy at Salem Regional Medical Center.
