MPD requests that members of the public not schedule appointments or arrive to the facility should they be exhibiting flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms. People who are awaiting test results by medical staff for COVID-19 should also refrain from scheduling appointments or going to the facility.

All individuals who enter MPD Headquarters must submit to and pass a general health screening and temperature check.
