Current Restrictions & Recommendations

All patients will be allowed one designated support person with them during their visit.

Designated support persons will be subject to all screening procedures currently in place.

• Anyone who presents as symptomatic of COVID-19 will not be permitted as a support person.

• All support persons must wear a mask while in the building, at all times.

Visiting hours for designated support persons will remain the same- 7am to 5pm.

• One support person will be permitted at all hours with Emergency Department and Obstetrics Department patients.

Designated support persons will not be permitted to leave the building and re-enter the building in the same day.

• Once they have arrived in the building and are screened, they will not be permitted to exit the building and return in the same day. They will be permitted to return the next day during visiting hours- and will be screened, again, at that time.

While in the building, support persons must remain with their patient. They will not be permitted to move freely throughout the building.

Support persons must be 18 years and older.

• No one under the age of 18 is permitted to be in the building unless they are a patient.

Support person access may be limited or expanded at the care team’s discretion. This includes, but is not limited to:

• End of life circumstances

• Individual cases where the well-being and safety of the patient is at risk

• Circumstances where patients are required to be in a semi-private room
