INDIANAPOLIS — Due to the rise in COVID cases and hospitalizations, Franciscan Health is changing its visitor guidelines at two of their hospitals in central Indiana.
According to its website, starting Thursday, Dec. 30 at 7 a.m., patients at Franciscan Health Indianapolis and Franciscan Health Mooresville will only be allowed one visitor each day, and that visitor must be the same person throughout the day.
The health network says both hospitals are seeing an increase of patients, with the majority being unvaccinated. It also says they made the move “after consultation with the leaderships of Franciscan Alliance and Indiana State Department of Health.”
All visitors will continue to be screened before entering the hospital. Visitors must be 18 or older, and are required to wear a mask provided by the hospital.
