PeaceHealth eases visitor restrictions

Posted

PeaceHealth recently started allowing visitors to its Bellingham hospital and medical group clinics in Whatcom County. 

Patients are allowed to bring one visitor as of March 17, according to a PeaceHealth press release. Volunteers are also allowed into PeaceHealth facilities. People hospitalized with Covid-19 are not allowed to have visitors, aside from a few exceptions. 

PeaceHealth officials decided to ease restrictions after Covid-19 transmission rates in Whatcom County showed steady decline, according to PeaceHealth. The healthcare system is following the CDC’s transmission map to ease restrictions and is prepared to add visitor restrictions if cases rise again.

Masks are still required in PeaceHealth facilities.
