Beebe releases visitor restriction update
LEWES, Del. – Beebe Healthcare officials have announced an update to its visitor restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Most visitor restrictions remain in effect, however, patients arriving at Beebe’s emergency departments at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus and the South Coastal Health Campus are now allowed to have one well visitor. We’re told this does not apply if the patient is COVID-19 positive or is coming in for COVID-19 testing.
The visitor will not be allowed to leave the emergency department or swap with another visitor. If the patient is admitted, the visitor may not join the patient in the inpatient area unless it is a pediatric patient.
Face coverings are required at all care sites. Special circumstances will allow for visitation at the hospital or at a Beebe Medical Group location. If you have additional questions, you should contact your provider prior to your visit.
One healthy visitor is allowed as follows:
- Pediatric patients – second visitor allowed in the OR waiting room as well
- Patients on comfort care
- Specialty physician outpatient visits
- Labor and delivery
- Patients undergoing a procedure or surgical procedure including urgent or emergent surgery
