As part of stage 2 of the province’s reopening plan, hospitals across the areas are easing their restrictions on visitors.
Wellington County hospitals are among those who are beginning to allow visitors to return to hospitals though many protocols are in place.
Guidelines will be different depending on the hospital and what unit they are located in. Those being treated from COVID-19 are still not permitted to have visitors.
All visitors will have to pass active screening at the hospital entrance, must wear a mask at all times and maintain social distancing as well as not eat or drink while in a patient’s room.
