MARQUETTE, MI-- UPHS-Marquette and Bell hospitals have put visitor restrictions in place.
Spokesman Victor Harrington says the rate of respiratory illness and the flu has increased recently, and hospital officials are trying to protect patients. Visitors who are ill with cough, fever, sore throat, and other related symptoms are not permitted to visit.
In the Family Birthing Center visitors are limited to parents, labor coaches, and grandparents, and in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit only parents are allowed to visit.
The restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
