PSN Guidelines in the Isolation of Hemodialysis Patients and HD Workers with COVID-19 Infection

To: All PSN Members

Attached to this letter is the PSN Guidelines in the Isolation of Hemodialysis Patients and HD Workers with COVID-19 Infection.

These guidelines were discussed with PSMID and Philippine Hospital Infection Control Society last February 2, 2022, and will be incorporated in the PSN-PSMID-PHICS Interim Guidelines in the Prevention and Control of COVID-19 Infection in Hemodialysis Facilities (Version 3.0 February 2,2022) for final publication in PSN’s and PSMID websites.

We hope that this will help dialysis centers and nephrologists in the isolation of COVID-19 positive HD patients and HCWs during surges of the viral infection in our hemodialysis facilities.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
