Hospital Visitor Restrictions Due to Flu

Again, as a reminder--Due to the flu, there are visitor restrictions at Wake Forest Baptist/Wilkes Medical Center and Hugh Chatham Hospital in Elkin. The number of influenza cases has significantly increased in our area.  Children age 12 and under may not visit patients. Exceptions for extenuating family circumstances may be allowed, but parents or guardians must first check with the patient’s nurse.  Healthy adult visitors and healthy family members age 13 and older are welcome to visit patients.
