In an effort to protect patients, visitors and employees during the influenza season, Geary Community Hospital has implemented visitor restrictions effective immediately until further notice.
Hospital officials said children under 12 years of age may not visit.
Do not visit patients at the hospital if you are ill or have flu-like symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, sore throat, fever, muscle aches, fatigue or any other symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea.
Visitors will be limited to close family members only.
Employees and visitors are reminded to wash their hands often, before entering a patient room and prior to leaving the facility. Sinks and waterless hand sanitizer are available throughout the building.
