FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Broward Health hospitals are getting closer to normal for visitors.
Earlier this week, officials said the hospitals will be returning to a “code green” visitation policy, only restricting visiting patients that are COVID-positive.
“I think it’ll be a welcomed change. Just having somebody there that you can talk to without having to go through the telemedicine that we’ve gone through or trying to find people on the phone, I think it’ll be a welcomed environment,” said Broward Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joshua Lenchus.
Broward Health encourages using video calls whenever possible.
Visitors will be required to wear a mask when entering the hospital.
The new protocol went into effect Tuesday.
