As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations rise across Michigan, beginning Friday April 2, Michigan Medicine will move to a more restrictive visitor policy similar to earlier in the pandemic.
Michigan Medicine will not allow visitors for adult patients, unless medically necessary. This change is being made to minimize the risk of the spread of COVID-19 to our patients and staff, said Jeffrey Desmond, M.D., chief medical officer at Michigan Medicine.
