We are committed to keeping our patients, visitors, and staff as healthy and safe as possible.
Due to the current community spread level of COVID-19 across South Central Pennsylvania, wearing a face mask in a WellSpan Health care facility is not required, with the following exceptions:
- when you are suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19
- for ten days following a high-risk exposure to COVID-19
- when visiting an immunocompromised patient
- in an area or department designated as requiring masks due to critical patient care
- in a county where COVID-19 transmission is high and masking is required by the Center for Disease Control & Prevention or the Pennsylvania Department of Health
- when cleared to return to work following a positive COVID-19 test until ALL symptoms are fully resolved
Wearing a mask is recommended:
- if you or a household member is considered at high risk for severe disease
- based on personal preference
Patient visitation
WellSpan continues to allow open visitation of patients, except for patients who are COVID-19 positive or suspected of being positive pending test results.
COVID-19 positive or pending hospitalized patients may designate two support persons for visitation. Visitation by one designated support person at a time will be allowed. All approved visitors of COVID-19 patients will be provided with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that will be worn during the duration of the patient visit.
People who are sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms (including fever, cough, and shortness of breath or difficulty breathing) should not visit patients
