Winneshiek Medical Center earlier this month imposed restrictions on visits to the neonatal rooms in the hospital. Now the hospital has announced new limitations on visitors:
• Only "well" visitors will be allowed. A hospital spokesperson says "Feeling 'well' means you have no fever, no cough, no sore throat, no achiness, no chills, no headache, no stuffy or runny nose."
• "Well" visitors must clean their hands before entering any patient room. WMC provides sanitizer dispensers throughout the facility.
The new limitations apply through the hospital. In some cases, such as end of life situations, staff may modify the limitations to meet the needs of the patient.
