Hospital marketing and public relations director Eric Prise said they are limiting patient visitors to one person who must be over 18 years old. No one under 18 years old will be allowed. He said there will be exceptions for end-of-life patients, pediatric patients and patients who need language services.
The facility has also limited access to its main entrance or the urgent care / emergency entrance. He said other access points including the rehabilitation entrance on the east side of the hospital are closed.
The hospital main entrance will be open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday thru Friday, and open 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The urgent care / emergency entrance is open 24 hours a day.
Prise said visitors will be screened and asked if they are feeling well and will have their body temperature taken.
No visitors are allowed at the hospital’s Hospice and Palliative Care facility at 601 Straw Street in Tomah, Prise said, although visitors for eminent death patients will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
He said mildly ill patients should stay home and contact their healthcare provider by phone for guidance about care. Patients who have severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, should seek care immediately.
