Since peaking a couple weeks ago, the number of COVID cases in Charlottesville and hospitalizations due to COVID at UVA Health have decreased.
This week, UVA Health eased visitor restrictions. On UVA hospital and UVA Transitional Care Hospital inpatient units, patients may have one additional visitor from 8 a.m.-9 p.m. We're still not allowing visitors to stay overnight.
At the Emergency Department, outpatient procedure areas, and clinics, patients may also have one additional visitor.
Exceptions include:
Pediatric patients: May have two adult visitors. One visitor may be with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout a hospital admission, Emergency Department visit, outpatient procedure, or clinic visit.
Patients with disabilities: May have one adult visitor with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout a hospital admission, Emergency Department visit, clinic visit, or procedure.
Patient in labor: May have one adult visitor at all times while in active labor.
Patients at the end of life: May have two adult visitors with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
