A2. Call Ahead	We recommend that all dialysis patients be advised that if they develop symptoms they should inform the dialysis unit BEFORE their scheduled treatment.	Principles I, II, III, IV
● All patients should be informed of the signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Consider giving standardized pamphlets from the public health office, if available in the patient’s language. ● Patients should be instructed to call the dialysis unit if they develop symptoms at home. ● If resources allow, consider requesting a nurse to call all HD patients a few hours before their upcoming treatment to inquire about symptoms. ● Patients who report symptoms should be directed to the most appropriate medical resources (eg, seek immediate medical attention, testing options [if, when, and where], adjusting the timing and location of their next dialysis treatment to permit appropriate evaluation and minimize exposing others).
