Default Re: Has your hospital changed visitors policy r/t the flu?
All the hospitals in my area have the following rules:

No visitors under 18.
Only two visitors at a time.
Anyone coughing, sneezing, or who otherwise looks sick may be asked to wear a mask or to leave the facility.

It's been rather nice, actually.

Effective since last month, our hospital no longer allows visitors under the age of 18 to visit. This may change when the flu season is over. I imagine it would be hard for the families in L&D with younger children who want to visit their new sibling(s). I believe (but I could be wrong) that our hospital may make an exception for a patient who is dying.
