- Hospital staff will pre-screen all visitors (using standard pre-screening questions) and will require visitors to wear masks. All visitors will be required to wear identification indicating they have been screened.
- Visitors who screen positive for flu or COVID-19 will not be able to visit a patient except for:

If a visitor screens positive for a contagious disease and must enter the facility, the visitor will be escorted.
We continue to recommend and encourage virtual communication with loved ones through the use of digital platforms and apps like FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Zoom, Google Hangouts, Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, etc.
