NORTHEAST, WI (WTAQ)- After nearly four weeks, a decrease in flu activity has allowed HSHS-Hospitals in Northeast Wisconsin to lift visitor restrictions that they put in place due to a high number of influenza cases.
Restrictions were put in place at St. Vincent Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center in Green Bay, as well as St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan, and St. Clare Memorial Hospital in Oconto Falls.
Hospital administration restricted children under the age of 12 from being in inpatient areas. Patients were also only able to have one or two healthy visitors.
Administration says influenza cases are going down, but people should still consider a flu shot and should wash their hands frequently.
