WILMINGTON — Beginning Feb. 25 at 7 a.m., Novant Health is lifting the temporary visitor restrictions for children under age 13 that were put in place on Dec. 30 for Novant Health hospitals in North Carolina.
“We continuously monitor respiratory virus levels and hospital capacity, and we’ve seen a meaningful decline in activity across our communities, allowing us to safely lift these temporary visitor restrictions,” Dr. David Priest, senior vice president and chief safety and quality officer at Novant Health, said in a press release. “Reaching this point shows how seriously our communities have taken the responsibility to slow the spread. We’re grateful for the cooperation and shared role everyone has played in protecting our most vulnerable patients.”
Novant Health continues to recommend all community members take measures that are known to limit the spread of respiratory viruses, including stayng home if you’re sick and getting flu, RSV and Covid-19 vaccines.
