Effective Friday, March 4, 2022:
Inpatients in a hospital setting and residents of long-term care homes can have two visitors at the same time.
Patients and residents are no longer required to identify designated visitors and support persons for visitation. Multiple visitors/support persons are permitted with no more than two visiting at the same time. To comply with physical distancing requirements, a support person is included as one of the two visitors during visiting hours. If a patient, resident or loved one feels that a support person is required for additional support or assistance outside of regular visiting hours, they should discuss their request with the clinical care team.
Please note that some areas/units may not be able to accommodate two visitors at the same time due to the space available and the need to maintain physical distancing requirements. In these cases, clinical care teams will work with families to identify visitation options.
