To create a safe and secure environment for their patients and health care workers during the COVID-19 outbreak, Banner Lassen Medical Center has announced that visitors will no longer be allowed in Banner hospitals starting at 7:00a.m. on Thursday, March 19th.
In a brief statement hospital administrators said, “We understand this will be challenging, but we’re committed to take the necessary precautions to protect our patients, health care workers and the community.”
There are two exceptions to the visitor restriction:
• Pediatric patients (under the age of 18) may have one adult visitor with them.
• Laboring mothers may have one support person with them.
Because we understand the importance of engaging with loved ones, we highly encourage phone calls, FaceTime or video chats to stay in touch during this time.
