RSSBattling H1N1, Some Hospitals Cut Visits
Tuesday, 10/20/09 7:53am
Some Vermont hospitals are restricting visitors in a bid to keep already compromised patients from contracting H1N1 flu.
Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Rutland Regional Medical Center, Central Vermont Hospital in Berlin, Copley Hospital in Morrisville and North Country Hospital in Newport are restricting access by visitors to some parts of their hospitals.
North Country is asking children under 18 not to visit. Central Vermont is restricting children under 12.
At Gifford Medical Center in Randolph, no special restrictions are in place. Officials there are asking community members to use common sense and stay away if they have flu-like symptoms.
