In response to increasing cases of COVID-19 in the communities it serves, Mayo Clinic Health System in Northwest Wisconsin will implement a no visitor policy at all inpatient and outpatient facilities, beginning at 6 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12.
This includes hospitals in Barron, Bloomer, Eau Claire, Menomonie and Osseo, as well as all Mayo Clinic Health System clinics in the region. Exceptions to this policy for inpatient care include one visitor for pediatric and end-of-life patients, as well as for the birth of a child.
One visitor will be allowed for Emergency Department patients, and one visitor will be allowed for outpatient care if the patient has a physical or cognitive impairment, or is a minor. This policy will remain in place until further notice.
All patients, visitors and staff must wear a cloth face covering or face mask, per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. Visitors should bring their own face mask or covering to wear while at a Mayo facility. If you do not have a face mask, one will be provided by Mayo Clinic Health System. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
