Wesley Healthcare has announced that it will implement additional visitor restrictions as of Monday, Dec. 12th.

The changes are the result of continued rising cases of influenza, RSV, and COVID-19 in the community.

Beginning on Monday, patients will be limited to two visitors at a time, and current policies requiring all patients, visitors and staff to wear masks will continue. No visitors under age 12 will be permitted.

While visitors will be allowed in the building from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, special exceptions may be made under the following circumstances:

• One parent/guardian overnight for pediatric, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and neonatal special care unit (NSCU) patients
• Two support people for women in labor, both of whom can remain overnight
• One patient advocate for pre/post-surgery, persons with disabilities and confused or anxious patients
• Two family members for end-of-life situations

Officials said they will continue to monitor and review its visitor policies as the situation evolves.
