The VA Clinic on Causeway Street in Boston will close early on Monday and Tuesday, and will suspend services beginning Wednesday, the VA said.
“The health and safety of our Veterans, staff and community is paramount,” Vincent Ng, director of the VA Boston Healthcare System said in a statement.
"Veterans who receive care in all our facilities can continue to receive the full range of care, from phone consultation for minor concerns to state-of-the-art interventions for serious medical, surgical, and mental health conditions," Ng said. "We are also fully prepared to provide the full range of care for Veterans with COVID-19.”
The clinics' staff will either work virtually or work from VA sites in West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain or Brockton, according to a written statement by the VA Boston Healthcare System.
