On Wednesday, officials at Crisp Regional Hospital announced new updates to its visitation policy:

“For your protection, we have updated our visitation policy and are temporarily limiting hospital and clinic visitation.

• Only one visitor will be allowed per hospital patient at a time.
• Only one visitor should accompany patients seeking treatment in clinic, physician offices and ERs.
• Children under 18 will only be allowed in CRH facilities to receive healthcare, not to accompany or visit a patient.
• If you have a fever, cough, body aches or a sore throat, please do no visit hospital until you have been symptom free-free for 24 hours.
• Visitors should use hand gel when entering the hospital to minimize the spread of germs.
• For the latest updates and guidelines, go to CDC.gov.”
