More Hospitals Restrict Visitation to Protect Visitors and Patients from H1N1
Yesterday Centra Health in Lynchburg placed restrictions on visitors under the age of 13, and limited the number of visitors a patient with flu can have. The move is similar to Carilion’s announcement Wednesday, temporarily restricting visits from people under 18, and limiting patients to one visitor at a time. It is worth noting that the CDC says that a person infected with flu can be contagious a full day before they start showing symptoms.
