Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. COVID-19 in Beverly Hills is a new disease, caused by a novel coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans. COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact from person-to-person, such as when an infected person sneezes, coughs or talks. The virus uses mucous membranes including the eyes, nose, and mouth to enter the body. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. COVID-19 can be spread pre-symptomatically and asymptomatically, when someone is not even aware that they are infected since they don’t have symptoms.

HOW WILL BEVERLY HILLS CONCIERGE HEALTH CENTER PROTECT ME FROM GETTING COVID-19?
Our Facility is taking steps to keep patients separate from those who may be at risk. At every appointment, your care team will ask questions about overall health and recent travel. Patients and anyone entering the center will have their temperature checked upon arrival, and will be asked to wear a mask. Visitors are limited if they are not actual patients, including family members, and translation services are also being conducted by phone or video instead of in person. Staff members are wearing increased protective equipment. We may ask some patients to wait in a separate room or to reschedule until they are feeling better if they have any symptoms. Everyone must respect social distancing protocols wherever possible including in the waiting room, infusion area, and clinic.
We are also taking extra steps to clean and disinfect surfaces throughout our Facility between each patient, and deeper cleaning each evening.
We also provide rapid, FDA approved Covid-19 testing in Beverly Hills and antibody testing, and this is done as an outdoor drive-thru service to ensure maximum safety precautions.
HOW DOES COVID-19 SPREAD?
The virus can spread easily, just like the common cold or flu. It spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes droplets that can get into the eyes, nose, or mouth of people nearby. Droplets also land on surfaces that people touch before touching their own eyes, nose, or mouth.
WILL YOU STILL CARE FOR ME IF I GET SICK?
Yes. Your care is our top priority. Although we may change some ways we care for you, we will never put your care or health at risk.
HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF?
These are some of the best ways to protect yourself and others from the virus:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Use hand sanitizer with 60% or more alcohol until you can wash your hands with soap and water.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth without washing your hands first.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces often. Regular household wipes and sprays will kill the virus. Be sure to clean places that people touch a lot, such as door handles, phones, keyboards, and light switches.
- Avoid handshakes, hugging, and standing or sitting close to people who are coughing or sneezing.
- Be as healthy as you can. Get plenty of sleep, eat healthy, exercise, and manage your stress.
If you are sick, follow these steps:
- Stay home.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze. If you use a tissue, put it in the garbage right away. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow crease.
- Call before going to your medical appointments. Let them know about recent travel or if you have had contact with a person with COVID-19.
IS THERE CARE AVAILABLE FOR INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS?
For international patients, we are here for you each step of the way. We have resources for private travel arrangements, including a private jet, private car transfers from the airport, and relationships with local housing and hotel options with the top safety and cleanliness precautions.
What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is a new type of virus that can cause mild to severe infections in the lungs. Like other viruses, it can lead to serious infections for people with weakened immune systems. COVID-19 may cause more severe infections than other viruses. We do not have a vaccine to help control its spread, but experts are working to make a vaccine.
SHOULD I WEAR A MASK?
It is recommended to wear a mask in public at all times. Please wear a mask at all times while at Beverly Hills Cancer Center as well. This can help prevent the spread of the virus, and protect both you and those around you.

HOTELS
Hotels are especially vulnerable as businesses start to reopen. Guests staying at your hotel need to be sure they are bringing their family and co-workers to a COVID-free environment and that the hotel is being proactive about prevention. Aside from wearing masks and gloves, guests need to feel safe. By showing them everyone in your hotel is being periodically tested you will demonstrate your hotel is serious about protecting them during this pandemic.
RESTAURANTS
As restaurants begin to reopen at a reduced capacity, patrons need to be sure employees are tested since they are handling their food and beverages. Furthermore, restaurants present a different challenge as patrons need to remove their masks in order to enjoy their meals. Being certain they are going to a restaurant that is being proactive about prevention will determine the success of their reopening and how patrons see them in the long-term.
Retail
Retail stores have been especially affected by the closures in the past few months, and customers are willing to shop online to avoid contact with others. As stores reopen and invite customers back in, it’s going to be important to demonstrate to your customers that you are being proactive in ensuring their safety.

Our Medical Professionals Perform Three Types of COVID Tests
RAPID RT-PCR testing via mouth or nasal swab - $225
We offer both RT-PCR mouth and nasal swabs, both over 99% accurate. However, the mouth swab is much more comfortable than a nasal swab (most places only offer nasal swab) and less invasive. Both involve procuring a sample of the mucus in the mouth or nose to test the presence of coronavirus viral RNA. We now have the Rapid RT-PCR test at BH Concierge Health. This is a nasal swab RT-PCR test but we obtain results in 1-4 hours. This is a huge advantage compared to 6-24 hours for RT-PCR performed at other labs. This test is highly accurate and can be performed in people’s homes, workplaces, or at our drive-thru. It can also be used for flights/travel. If your employee tests positive for Coronavirus, he or she will need to stay home or be referred to a medical facility for proper medical care.
