No visitors at ESHC

Erie Shores Healthcare is implementing a no visitors policy starting on Thursday with only limited exceptions.

Starting at 12:01 a.m. there will be no visitors allowed in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Limited exceptions include one visit by one visitor to a patient who is actively dying, one support person for a woman in labour, one parent or guardian of an ill child or youth, and one support person for a patient with dementia or cognitive impairment.

A translator may also be allowed but only when necessary because the hospital uses medical translation services.

For the most up to date visitor policy go to the ESHC website.  The Virtual Visitor program is still available and can be booked online.

Windsor Regional Hospital's visitor policy can be found here.
