Good morning all, this is a random question but we are interested to hear from anyone who may have made any changes or updates to their pet visitation guidelines post COVID.

We reviewed our animal visitation policy across both campuses last year, and the major change was a statement that staff must not handle visitation animals, and a strengthening of the recommendation for patients to perform hand hygiene both pre and post animal handling. Not really COVID-19 specific, but good overall practice,
We actually didn’t have anything specifically COVID-19 related to add, actually form memory.
Cheers
