■ Visitors for any confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patient must remain in the room or leave the facility after the visit;

■ Visitors should wear a mask in all areas of the hospital, including in private patient rooms;

■ For maternity patients, two support persons, such as a partner and doula, will be permitted per day for all stages including antepartum, delivery and postpartum;

■ For maternity patients testing positive for COVID-19, only one support person will be allowed, staying in the room masked;
