FORT WAYNE – Parkview implemented temporary visitation restrictions due to increased flu activity.

Anyone coming to a healthcare facility for treatment who has cold- or flu-like symptoms (such as fever, cough or muscle aches) should wear a mask while in public areas, including waiting rooms.

No visitors under the age of 18 and no visitors of any age with flu-like symptoms should be allowed to visit patients.

Visitors should be limited to two essential adults (at least 18-years-old) per patient – essential adults could include designated family members, spouse/domestic partner or spiritual counselors.

Anyone not allergic to the flu vaccine should be vaccinated.

Parkview initiated the restrictions system wide including Parkview Lagrange and Parkview Noble Hospitals.
