“The Department considers one support person essential to patient care throughout labor, delivery, and the immediate postpartum period,” the statement read.
The New York Presbyterian Medical system had said it would ban all visitors on March 30, even in the labor and delivery area,“We understand that this will be difficult for our patients and their loved ones, but we believe that this is a necessary step to promote the safety of our new mothers and children,” New York Presbyterian’s statement read.
Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City also banned visitors for labor and delivery, effective March 24, and only allowed one visitor for the duration of a baby’s stay in the neonatal intensive care unit,In pediatric settings, the patient or family member/caregiver may designate two support people, but only one may be present with the patient at a time, the state health department said.
All visitors must be screened for coronavirus symptoms like cough, shortness of breath or fever, as well as potential exposure to coronavirus in other settings, upon their entry into a clinical area of the hospital and every 12 hours after that. Hospitals were directed to work on providing other forms of communication between visitors and hospitalized individuals; some are trying to provide tablets at bedsides, for example.
