PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham and its Whatcom County clinics are limiting the number of visitors inside its facilities as Covid-19 transmission rates increase.
Each patient is now allowed to bring only one visitor per 24-hour period as of May 3, according to a PeaceHealth press release.
Covid-19 patients are still not allowed to have visitors, with some exceptions, and all visitors must continue wearing a surgical mask in PeaceHealth facilities.
Visitors are no longer allowed into PeaceHealth St. Joseph’s gift shop.
PeaceHealth uses CDC’s transmission map to determine its Covid-19 response in each community.
“We know how important visitation is for our patients and their loved ones, and we hope to be able to lift these restrictions as soon as possible,” PeaceHealth spokesperson Bev Mayhew wrote in the press release. “We appreciate the public’s patience and
understanding.”
