ThedaCare
NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — To prevent the spread of illness, ThedaCare is making several adjustments to its safety measures.
ThedaCare has updated its isolation and masking guidelines at all facilities.
Guidelines for Isolation
Guidelines for visiting a patient in isolation, including those being treated for COVID-19, include:
- Limit of two visitors at the same time.
- Visitors should go directly to the patient’s room and remain in the room during the visit, except to use the public restroom.
- For everyone’s safety, visitors should wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including masks and follow all instructions provided.
Face Masks
Masking continues to be optional for patients, visitors and staff, except if you have fever, sore throat, runny nose or cough. If you choose, you are welcome to continue to wear a mask if symptom free and request that your care team also remain masked while caring for you.
Some areas, such as cancer care units, may have their own masking policies. ThedaCare would ask that you follow any unit-specific policies regarding masking. Please ask a member of your care team if you have questions.
