Officials with UR Medicine say that as the Rochester community, like much of the country, is dealing with high levels of flu activity, there will be some visitor restrictions at hospitals that are part of that health system.
The restrictions include Strong Memorial, Highland Hospital, Golisano Children's Hospital and Wilmot Cancer Center.
The restrictions include:
-no visitors under the age of 14 permitted in the hospital.
--No more than two visitors plus one care giver at any time for each patient.
--- People who are ill with flu-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, body aches) are asked not to visit hospitalized patients at all.
The precautionary measures go into effect at noon on Thursday.
