How Do Visitor Restrictions Change During Outbreaks?
During outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as flu seasons or pandemics like COVID-19, NICUs often implement even stricter visitor restrictions. This may include: - Prohibiting all visitors except for parents. - Increasing the frequency and rigor of health screenings. - Extending the use of PPE. These heightened restrictions are essential to prevent the spread of infections in a high-risk setting.
