In most circumstances, emergency room patients and patients going to doctors' appointments must be dropped off.

Parents or guardians may accompany neonatal and pediatric patients, and maternity patients may have one individual accompanying them. End-of-life patients may have two visitors.

Patients and any permitted visitors must wear masks and complete a Covid-19 screening.
