My son had an appointment at the Calvert County Health Department. I was surprised and upset to see that there were no COVID 19 procedures being implemented (aside from some people wearing masks). THIS IS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT?! Of all the places we ve visited, if we get sick, it will be from here. There was no hand sanitizer available in the waiting room for patients (even after filling out paperwork!), no covid-19 health screening questions at intake, no signs about social distancing, mask wearing, or hand washing. People in the waiting room were not 6 ft apart, and some staff members weren t wearing masks in the narrow hallway where they take you back to see a practitioner. One practitioner did not keep his mask over his nose when interacting with us. The place was no different than it would have been prior to Covid-19, with the exception of some staff wearing masks. This is extremely concerning, and I wonder why it was allowed. Many low income people, and/or at risk people, come into Calvert County behavioral health department. Why aren t people being protected?

It s a stark contrast to the other facilities I ve visited, where safety, caution, and education has been a top priority.
