As cases of Covid19 are rising again a year later, Community Medical Center has temporarily banned visitors except for end-of-life cases, and support for maternity, special needs patients and kids.

According to RWJBH website, they have adjusted their visiting guidelines for a limited time.

Inpatient Units: Visitors will not be allowed. Exceptions will be made for patients receiving compassionate end of life care, parents of minors and caregivers for those with special needs. Patients will be asked to provide contact information for a family member or friend who will receive updates on the patient’s care.

Maternity: One significant other/support person is permitted. Once in the labor and delivery unit, the designated support person must have extremely limited access to the other areas of the hospital and will not be permitted to leave and re-enter the unit. In addition to a significant other/support person, a doula is also permitted throughout labor, delivery, and the entire postpartum hospital stay. The doula shall not count as the support person.
