Med Center Health Visitation Restrictions
Med Center Health is closely monitoring the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In an abundance of caution, and to keep our environment safe for patients, visitors and staff, Med Center Health has implemented the following visitor restrictions.
- Effective January 26, following a decline in COVID-19 incidence rates and flu activity, masks are optional for employees, patients and visitors at all MCH facilities. MCH will continue to make masks available for those who choose to wear them. If health indicators change in the future, universal masking requirements may be reinstated.
- When visiting, remember to wash your hands with soap and water when entering and leaving patient rooms. Those with fever, runny nose, body aches, or respiratory symptoms should not visit. Due to the fluctuating nature of COVID-19, this policy will be revised as needed.
