Visiting Hours:
- We usually have designated visiting hours to minimize disruption to patient care and rest.
- These hours can vary between different units or wards within the hospital.
- For example, Dialysis wards may have specific restrictions, especially regarding children.
Infection Control:
- Visitors with symptoms of illness, such as colds or the flu, are generally discouraged from visiting.
- Specifically, a medical mask is recommended for routine care, whereas a respirator (airborne precautions) is recommended if HCWs are conducting an aerosol-generating procedure such as endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy or airway suctioning, along with droplet precautions
- Hospitals often require visitors to sanitize their hands upon entry and may provide hand sanitizer stations.
- Some hospitals may prohibit outside food and flowers to minimize infection risks.
Other Guidelines:
- Children’s presence may be limited or restricted in certain areas, particularly in maternity or critical care units.
- Hospitals may have policies about the number of visitors allowed at one time.
- Some areas may have restrictions on cell phone use.
- Visitor passes or identification may be required.
