If You Are Sick Please Stay Away
The Horizon Health Network's hospitals and health care facilities are asking anyone with flu-like symptons not to visit patients in the hospital.
Those symptoms include cough, fever, aches and pains, sore throat, and runny nose.
They believe this preventative measure will help protect patients with compromised immune systems from getting sick.
If you need to visit, you will be asked to wear a mask and to clean your hands.
All visitors entering and leaving Horizon Health Network facilities are asked to use hand sanitizer located at all entrances.
