MANASSAS, VA — Novant Health UVA Health System, a network of hospitals and clinics, has resumed providing all services that were suspended in mid-March due to the coronavirus, the health system said Tuesday.

The hospitals and clinics are now available for non-time sensitive and non-emergency surgeries and procedures, pediatric well checks, routine care office visits and care for both chronic diseases and acute issues. Medically necessary, time-sensitive procedures resumed May 11.

“At the advice of our physicians, and on behalf of our patients who have delayed care, we have thoughtfully decided to resume these services,” Al Pilong, chief executive officer, Novant Health UVA Health System, said Tuesday in a statement. “We continue to see promising declines in the number of COVID-19 cases in our health districts, and our team stands ready to care for the community.”

Novant Health UVA Health System's facilities include the Prince William Medical Center on Sudley Road in Manassas and the Haymarket Medical Center on Heathcote Blvd.

The Novant Health UVA Health System has added safety measures for in-person visits, including:

  • Temperature screenings for everyone entering the health system’s facilities

  • Universal masking

  • Enhanced cleaning processes

  • Increased resources to infection prevention teams

  • Pre-admission testing for procedures and surgeries, which includes testing for COVID-19

  • Reducing the use of waiting rooms

  • Limiting visitors in facilities
