Both women giving birth as well as patients who have surgery requiring sedation can have a visitor, while end of life patients can have up to four visitors.

The change to red across all hospitals does not change the restrictions among visitors to pediatric patients.

One other change, Carilion asks that personal items and food not be dropped off for patients or employees.
