Oklahoma City metro-area hospitals plan limits for visitors

  Sun 6/30/2013

Several Oklahoma hospitals are restricting visitors so they can better protect patients from catching swine flu, or H1N1.
Edmond Medical Center officials say in most cases, children younger than 18 won’t be allowed in the hospital if they are not a patient. However, if the child is there because an immediate family member is hospitalized, the child probably will be allowed to visit and be asked to wear a face mask, hospital spokeswoman Leslie Buford said.

The hospital also is limiting each patient to two visitors at a time, and visitors with flu-like symptoms are asked to stay away.
