Brunswick Community Hospital places restriction on visitors

Brunswick Community Hospital is changing visitation rules starting Thursday as a precaution against the spread of the flu, including H1N1.

Except in extreme circumstances, visitors younger than 18 will not be permitted in the hospital unless they are patients seeking medical care.

The hospital’s medical chief said the new policy is a proactive step to safeguard patients, staff members and adult visitors.

It will remain in effect until the incidence of the flu has significantly decreased.

We will have more Wednesday night on WWAY.
