COVID-19 VHA Future State Operational Plan
Veterans need to know the VA's plan to protect them as the threat of COVID-19 continues.
Beginning Monday, May 23, 2022, the Veteran Health Administration (VHA) will implement a nation-wide COVID-19 Future State Operational Plan that will roll out three standardized VHA Health Protection Levels – low, medium, and high.
Here’s what to know:
- Implementing the COVID-19 VHA Health Protection Levels (low, medium, and high) will help Veterans and staff know what preventive steps to take based on the latest CDC data when entering a Veteran Health Indiana facility:
-
- Safety protocols – wearing a mask, screening, visitations, and social distancing
- COVID-19 community transmission level
- On Mondays, signage at all Veteran Health Indiana health care facilities’ screening entrances will reflect the CDC’s Indiana county’s Health Protection Levels (low, medium, or high) and safety protocols for the week.
- Masking will remain in effect regardless of Health Protection Level (low, medium, or high).
- Health Protection Level updates will be provided at www.va.gov/indiana-health-care/ and www.facebook.com/vaindianapolis.
If Veterans are experiencing any COVID symptoms, they are asked to contact their PACT Team through the Patient Response Center at 317-988-1772, option 2, for further instructions.
