For Patients with Disabilities or Impairment: One support person is allowed for patients with disabilities or impairment, regardless of the patient’s COVID-19 status. There are no restrictions on visiting hours.

Support persons must:

• Meet clinical criteria used for general visitation, i.e., pass COVID-19 screening. The screening includes a temperature, exposure*, international travel*, and symptom check, as well as no known COVID-19 diagnosis within the past 20 days, at least 24 hours fever free without the use of fever-reducing medications, and improved symptoms.
• Use PPE appropriate for the patient they are supporting. In the event the patient is COVID-19 positive, the support person must use hospital-provided PPE.

Issues related to access for support persons can be addressed promptly by speaking with the patient’s nurse or another health care professional involved in the patient’s care. If additional assistance is needed, you may dial “0” if you are at the facility or call the facility’s main number and ask for an administrator.
