Columbus Specialty Hospital Visitor Update Effective
6/3/2020 COVID- 19 Restrictions

We have put great thought and consideration in the measures we have taken to protect the safety of our staff and patients. At this time, we have decided to change our current visitor status from “No Visitors” to “Limited Visitors” except in special circumstances. The criteria for visitation is as follows:

• Only 1 designated visitor will be allowed per patient for the entire stay (this must be the same visitor).
• All visitors must pass the health screening at the Main Nurses’ Station before being allowed to enter any other area(s) of the hospital. This includes a temperature check and health questionnaire. • All visitors are required to wear a mask and must wear a mask from home.
• All visitors are required to go immediately to the patient room after passing the health screen and remain in the patient room until leaving the facility. Visitors are not allowed to roam freely up and down the halls at any time.
• Visiting hours are from 0800-2000.
• People ages 16 and under are prohibited from entering the hospital.
• People who are ill are prohibited from entering the hospital.

Visitors that meet criteria and are allowed to visit will receive a sticker with the room number of the patient they are visiting. The mask can be a procedure mask or a cloth mask for visitors. Unfortunately, we will not be able to allow visitors for COVID- 19 positive patients unless there are special circumstances. Nurses are asked to continue to call the patients’ designated family member from 1:00p.m. to 4:00p.m. daily for those patients that cannot or do not have visitors. All staff must continue to wear a procedure mask or N95 while in patient care areas. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
