As the number of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) cases increase in Georgia and following careful review of its policies and local COVID-19 data, Navicent Health has chosen to modify certain portions of its visitation policy. The visitation policy was put into place on March 12, 2020 to protect patients, visitors and caregivers from the threat of COVID-19. The changes are effective Wednesday, Dec. 30, and only essential visitors will be permitted into Navicent Health facilities.
Essential visitors include those who are visiting/accompanying the following patients:Â
â¢Minor patients under the age of 18
â¢Patients in labor and delivery and/or family birth centers
â¢Patients in intensive care
Â
As part of Navicent Healthâs ongoing commitment to community safety and preparedness, the health system reminds Georgians to take proper safety precautions when decorating for the holidays.
Take the following steps to ensure you and your family avoid unexpected illness and injury this holiday season:Â
Candles
â¢Candles should be placed away from walls, curtains or flammable materials.
â¢Lit candles should be monitored at all times.
â¢Ensure the candle is completely extinguished after use.
Deep Fryers
â¢Deep frying your turkey? Place the fryer on a solid, flat surface away from your home.
â¢Ensure children and pets do not bump into the fryer.
