RE: Flu-like Symptoms & Visitor Restriction
DATE: October 23, 2009

The Redwood Area Hospital is reminding people with flu-like symptoms not to visit patients in our facility. This includes people with recent exposure to persons with flu-like symptoms. We do not want to expose our vulnerable populations.

Redwood Area Hospital has placed additional restrictions on those who want to visit the hospital Birthing Center. New restrictions include:
  • Visitors must check in at the OB desk and be screened for flu-like symptoms.
  • Sibling visitors must be 5 or older. (Exceptions by nurse on a case-by-case basis.)
  • Non-sibling visitors must be 16 or older.
  • Maximum of three visitors per patient at a time.

    If you have any questions related to flu symptoms, please call the Minnesota Flu Line at 1-866-259-4655.
