Patient and Visitor Recommendations Effective 09/11/2009
In an effort to keep our patients, visitors and employees safe from the FLU, the Centers
for Disease Control and Macon County General Hospital are making the following
recommendations:
- The hospital asks you to please refrain from bringing children to the Emergency Waiting
Area or inside the Emergency Room unless they are a patient. This is for their
safety/wellness as well as other patients.
- If you have a cough, sore throat, and/or fever of 100 degrees or higher (flu like
symptoms), and are wanting to visit a patient, please consider returning to the hospital at
a later date.
- If you have flu like symptoms, remain at home at least 24 hours after you are fever free.
- Once you are symptom free for 24 hours, you may return to normal activities and can visit the
hospital.
- If you are actively coughing, but have no other symptoms, masks are available. Please feel free
to use one.
- Please use good hand hygiene.
