Beebe updates visitor restrictions

LEWES, Del. – Beebe Healthcare has announced an update to its visitor restrictions.

Starting today, August 30th, inpatients will be allowed to have one well visitor during visitor hours. This visitor is not allowed to rotate during the day.

We’re told this includes patients at the Lewes and South Coastal Emergency Departments and Beebe Medical Group offices. Vistors continue to not be permitted for COVID-19 patients and patients under suspicion for COVID-19 except in special circumstances. Additional considerations are made for labor & delivery, surgery patients, and end of life patients. Pediatric patients may have two well parents or caregivers.

Visitors will be asked to remain with the patient to limit movement throughout the hospital, and may also be asked to leave if the care team deems it necessary for any clinical reasons.

Face coverings remain required at all Beebe care sites.
