This will go into effect on June 12 at 6 a.m. at these locations:

Visitors will be required to have their temprature taken and wear a mask throughout their time inside the hospitals.
Patients won’t be able to have visitors at appointments except for the following reasons:

“Our patients and their loved ones have been so understanding of our recent policies, which were designed to limit the risk of COVID-19 infections among our patients and caregivers,” said Craig McCoy, president of Mercy Springfield Communities. “Mercy recognizes how important family and friends are to a patient’s recovery, and we’re so pleased to be able to welcome them back into our hospitals.”
