Due to the decrease in the incidence of H1N1 influenza, RMH has lifted its restriction on visitors age 18 and under.

Healthy children and youth are now allowed to visit in the hospital. However, if there is an increase in the incidence of H1N1 or other influenza, the restriction will be reinstated.

Visitors are still limited to two per patient. Exceptions may be granted for those visiting patients who have life-threatening conditions.

RMH continues to screen visitors at hospital entrances for flu-like symptoms. Protective face masks and hand sanitizer are available at hospital entrances as well.
