In an effort to protect its patients, visitors and employees during influenza season, Salina Regional Health Center implemented visitor restrictions effective today, Jan. 2, 2020, until further notice.

• The following restrictions apply:
  DO NOT visit if you are ill or have any signs and symptoms of influenza (cough, runny nose, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue).
• Immediate family members only. Infants/small children are discouraged from visiting.
• Persons with compromised immune systems or pulmonary complications should visit only if absolutely necessary.
• Any visitor noted to have influenza-like symptoms will be given a mask and asked to leave the facility.
• In the Birth Center, visitors should be immediate family only. Siblings that are not showing signs of illness will be allowed to visit.
• Compassionate exceptions to these restrictions may be warranted and will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Visitors are asked to wash their hands often, before entering a patient room and prior to leaving the facility. Sinks with soap and waterless hand sanitizer dispensers are available throughout the hospital.
