In order to help families and loved ones to be present when end of life is approaching, the following visitation guideline is now in effect: COVID-19 positive patients nearing the end of life can have one loved one visit for a half hour. The visit should be arranged with patient s clinical provider and the BMC Patient Experience Department. The identified visitor will be informed of the risks of visitation and the need to quarantine afterward. They will be screened for symptoms of COVID upon entering the hospital. A loved one with COVID symptoms cannot visit, but a virtual visit can still be arranged by the hospital. If the loved one is at high-risk for COVID complications due to age or health issues, a virtual visit can also be arranged.
