Flu-related hospital visitor restrictions are lifted
Effective Monday, January 4, 2010, hospital visitor restrictions at all Legacy hospitals have been completely lifted.
As the H1N1 flu virus was spreading dramatically last fall, we tried to protect our vulnerable patients by imposing restrictions on hospital visitors.
Since then, the numbers of cases throughout the region has dropped off, and more people are now vaccinated against the virus. Given these trends, normal visitor policies are back in place at all Legacy hospitals.
If there is another increase in H1N1 cases, these restrictions could be put back in effect.
