Inpatients in Northern Health Region hospitals and health centres are allowed to have visitors.

 

The health authority began allowing patient access as of yesterday.

 

Patients are allowed one designated visitor, but if their stay at the hospital reached 14 days and are not expected to be discharged in the next 72 hours, two designator people can be approved for visits, though it must be done one at a time.

 

Visiting hours are Monday to Friday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

 

Visitors will be screened for COVID-19 when they arrive at the hospital, and must comply with physical distancing measures and strict hand hygiene.

 

While visitors are not required to wear a non-medical mask, the health authority encourages them to be worn while in the hospital.
