Woodlawn Health on Wednesday issued visitor restrictions and strongly encouraged masks at its facilities. All visitors who are age 12 and younger are restricted from the hospital and clinics. Also, if you are not feeling well, you are encouraged to reconsider visiting your loved one.
“We understand that special circumstances will arise, and we will evaluate those circumstances on a case-by-case basis,” Woodlawn Chief Nursing Officer Cathy Lowe said.
Recently, the number of flu and norovirus (stomach flu) cases has increased across the region, causing the health system to change its procedure. Many local health systems in the area have issued similar precautions.
“We are encouraging patients, visitors, and team members to wear masks to protect our community and staff,” Lowe added.
The health system will reevaluate the change when the number of cases continues to drop in the region. Everyone will be offered masks upon entering the hospital and clinic.
