Hospitals React To Spread Of The Flu

Sharing get well wishes is all well and good as long as you don't share the flu while you're at it.

Horizon Health wants to make sure visitors to local hospitals aren't coughing, feverish, sneezing, or suffering from a sore throat. If you're displaying flu symptoms, regional lead Marita MacMillan says the guidelines are clear.......You should stay away.

Even if you are not under the weather yourself and you visit, wear a mask and clean your hands with an alcohol based hand rub. You can get surgical masks and hand rub at the entrances to all hospitals.

If you have any questions you're asked to contact the hospital.
