Southwest General Visitor Restrictions
As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the state of Ohio, the health and safety of our patients, visitors and staff remains our top priority.
Moving forward, Southwest General will use the four-color statewide visitation levels—blue, yellow, orange and red—to help minimize the spread of COVID-19 throughout our facilities. The visitation levels are based on public health data about the spread of COVID-19, including state and county public health information.
Visitor Restrictions:
- All visitors must wear a mask, symptom screen upon arrival and sanitize their hands
- Do not visit or accompany a patient if you are sick, have a fever, tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 20 days, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 within the past 14 days
- Visitors to patients who are COVID-19 positive must follow safety guidelines specific to those units
