OMAHA, Nebraska - Due to COVID-19 coronavirus, Nebraska Medicine will further limit visitation in hospitals and clinics.
Visitors are only allowed for special circumstances on a case-by-case basis.The updated policy does allow for exceptions for pediatric and labor and delivery patients, as well as other extenuating circumstances.
It does appear possible for people to be contagious without exhibiting symptoms, so limiting the number of people who come into the hospitals and health centers will lessen the likelihood that the illness will spread. The policy takes effect Friday, March 27.
Patients arriving for clinic appointments will continue to be screened. We will have staff on hand to escort patients who arrive for clinic appointments and need assistance. If a patient arrives with a guest, the guest will be asked to return to their car.
Our outpatient pharmacies are offering curbside prescription delivery. For more details, click here.
