More visitor restrictions come from a Coles County health facility.
Starting Monday, no visitors will be allowed in Sarah Bush Lincoln or its clinics.
According to Sarah Bush officials, the visitor policy changed to address the continuous spread of the coronavirus.
There are a few exceptions and those include:
During childbirth through mother/baby discharge, she can have one support person who cannot leave the room. All meals will be brought to them. A visitor is permitted if a patient is at end-of-life. Clergy is also permitted at end of life.
In the case of surgery, the patient may have a support person to hear the doctor’s report and discharge instructions. In Special Procedures, the support person will stay in the car and at discharge, the nurse will provide the driver with appropriate information.
A support person should accompany a child and people with developmental issues or dementia.
