San Juan Regional Medical Center has eased visitor restrictions at the hospital, enacting a limited visitor policy for admitted non-COVID patients.
One visitor will be allowed between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. All visitors must be aged 18 or older. Visitors will be subject to a health screening upon entrance to the hospital.
All visitors are required to practice proper hand hygiene and wear a cloth face mask. No masks with valves are allowed, and no overnight visitors are allowed.
Only one visitor will be allowed per day, per admitted non-COVID patient.
The no visitor policy is still in place for COVID patients, with exceptions considered on a case-by-case basis. The current visitor restrictions in the Emergency Department still stand, and include non-respiratory/non-COVID patients may only be accompanied to the treatment area by a maximum of one adult visitor or family member, visitors may be asked to complete a health screening and the lobby is reserved for patients waiting to be seen. No visitors are allowed for COVID patients.
Family members and friends are encouraged to utilize alternative mechanisms for patient contact such as FaceTime and Skype, or send an e-card at www.sanjuanregional.com/egreeting.
