The Nova Scotia Health Authority is extending visitor restrictions at all facilities to limit the spread of respiratory illness, including COVID-19.
No visitors are permitted in any of NSHA’s hospitals, although there are compassionate and supportive care exceptions in consultation with the care team.
The exceptions include patients at end-of-life, a designated person per patient is permitted in labour and delivery rooms, a parent or guardian with pediatric patients, and substitute decision makers as required for plan of care.
In these circumstances, the person will be named and limited to one person, although, in the case of pediatric patients, an exception may be considered for two parents in consultation with care team.
