Política de visitante
At Montefiore, we understand that visitors and family members play an important role in a patient’s healing journey. During the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), to keep Montefiore patients, visitors, employees and community members safe, we have modified our visitor policies for all of our locations. [insert updates to this policy here].
*IMPORTANT: We ask that you call your doctor or the hospital first before visiting any locations to discuss any symptoms or questions. If you do not have an appointment, please do not walk in to any of our practices at this time. [Language taken from Cornell’s email, modified slightly]
Visitors and Caregivers
The Following restrictions apply to all of the care settings below:
- Visitors must be 12+ years old.
- Before entering patient areas, visitors will be screened for symptoms relating to fever and breathing, as well as potential interactions with confirmed COVID-19 cases, and any international travel in which the visitor returned within the last 14 days. For the safety of hospitalized patients, any individual who screens positive will be asked to leave.
- Patients who are being tested for COVID-19 or who have already tested positive may not receive visitors.
- If you have questions about visitation involving your loved one, please contact a member of the patient’s care team.
