SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Children under age 13 will not be allowed as visitors at three
major Pioneer Valley hospitals starting on Wednesday due to swine
flu concerns.
Baystate Medical Center's Public Affairs Manager Ben Craft
told 22News Baystate is enacting a new flu season visitor's policy.
Starting Wednesday, November 4, there will be no visitors
under age 13 allowed at all Baystate hospitals. There will also
only be two visitors at time recommended per patient. Visitors
should be limited to those essential to the patient's comfort and
well-being.
These changes are for Baystate Medical Center in Springfield,
Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, and Mary Lane Hospital in
Ware, as well as for all of Baystate's outpatient facilities.
