Cameron Memorial Hospital Visitor Restrictions Still In Place
Thursday, June 25, 2020


As the fight against coronavirus around the world continues, locally one area hospital is continuing its restrictions.

Officials at Cameron Memorial Hospital would like to remind visitors that several restrictions in the hospital are still in place.

Those restrictions include that if patient is a minor or incapacitated adult, one designated parent/guardian or a patient caregiver per visit will be allowed. In addition a single designated partner or primary caretaker is allowed for mothers delivering babies. However, no visitors under age 18 are permitted, which includes siblings of a newborn.

As far as in end-of-life situations, patients are limited to one visitor at a time. Visitors are not permitted to see patients if they exhibit any respiratory illness symptoms (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, fever, etc.). Visitors are not permitted if they have traveled internationally within the past 14 days.

And finally, individuals coming to an outpatient center or physician’s office will be restricted to a single visitor responsible for transportation, and if that person is not needed for communication purposes, they should remain in their vehicle while the patient is being cared for. That individual should carry a cell phone for support communications.

The hospital also encourages people to use FaceTime, Skype and phone calls to visit with loved ones in the hospital.

Anyone who believes that they have symptoms of COVID-19 should call Cameron Hospital’s Resource Line at 260-667-5555. People may also call the Steuben County Health Department at 668-1000, ext. 1500, for more information.
