What is your seasonal visitor restriction policy?

Akron Children’s seasonal visitor restriction policy is effective Nov.1 – April 1. During this time, visitation to inpatient units is limited to those 12 years and older who do not have cold or flu symptoms. Additionally, the number of visitors in a room will be limited to 4. The policy provides attendings and unit nurse managers discretion for accommodating extenuating circumstances. Critical care units may add further restrictions if needed. Additionally, employees are required to mask for all patient-facing interactions in hematology/oncology, emergency department, urgent care, the intensive care units including PICU and NICU and the special care nurseries.
