The restrictions that had been in place included:

• Only adult immediate family as identified by patient will be allowed to visit patients.
• Siblings and visitors under 18 years of age will not be allowed to visit patients.
• Guests will be asked to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer often while in the building.
