As a result of the increase in COVID-19 cases, Genesis HealthCare System is modifying its visitation policy effective Wednesday, Aug. 18. All visitors must be 18 years or older. Most patients may have one visitor at a time. Visitors should enter through the Main Entrance at Genesis Hospital and check in at the Information Desk.
Patients who are confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 are also not permitted any visitors unless there are special circumstances, such as end-of-life situations.
Visitors must wear masks at all times during their visit and adhere to social distancing of at least 6 feet. Visitors coming to the facility should have taken their temperature prior to entry. Those with fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills and shaking, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea or loss of taste and smell will not be allowed to visit unless visiting for an end-of-life circumstance.
For other exceptions in areas such as Labor & Delivery and Hospice; visit the Genesis website at genesishcs.org/covid19 for more information.
