Kaleida Health makes changes to visitation policy as COVID cases continue to rise

Adult patients must now designate just one visitor/caregiver/support person to visit and only that person can visit while the patient is in the hospital.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — As the number of COVID-19 cases in the region continue to climb, Kaleida Health is making an important change to its visitation policy.

Effective immediately, adult patients must now designate only one visitor/caregivers/support person to visit during the duration of their hospital stay. Laboring moms and pediatric patients can have two designated visitors/caregivers/support persons. Officials at Kaleida say this will help control the number of visitors in and out of the hospital. 

As before, all visitors must wear a mask, practice social distancing and use alcohol-based hand sanitizer frequently, especially before and after entering a patient's room. 

Additional information regarding Kaleida's visitation policy can be found here.
