Patients who will be admitted (staying in the hospital overnight) after surgery will need to be tested for COVID-19 before their procedure. We will schedule the test when we call before the surgery/procedure. We will call with the results of the test by 10:00 pm the night before your child’s surgery. Children who have symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, congestion or runny nose, shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, fever, loss of taste/smell, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, muscle pain) will be tested the morning of surgery.
