MARQUETTE, MI-- Visitor restrictions have been implemented at UPHS Marquette and Bell hospitals.
Officials say the move is due to a high incidence of respiratory illness and flu in the area.
Until further notice, children under 14 will not be permitted to visit unless it’s for an appointment or emergency department visit; in the Family Birthing Center visitors are limited to labor coaches and grandparents; and in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit visitors are limited to only parents.
Anyone who is ill is asked not to visit the hospitals. Only two visitors are permitted per patient at a time, limited to immediate family, significant others, and the patient’s advocate.
