LEWES — Beebe Healthcare has updated its visitor restrictions to allow inpatients to have one well visitor between 1 and 9 p.m. at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus.

This includes patients at the Lewes and South Coastal Emergency Departments and Beebe Medical Group offices.

Patients being discharged at times other than the new visiting hours are allowed one well visitor 30 minutes prior to discharge to help with patient care instructions.

No visitors will be allowed for COVID-19 patients and patients under suspicion for COVID-19 except for special circumstances.

Additional considerations are made for labor and delivery, surgery patients, pediatrics and end of life patients.

At the Lewes Campus, visitors should utilize the main entrance near the parking garage, which is still accessible during renovations.

Additionally, valet is available and highly recommended at that entrance from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Visitors are asked to remain with the patient to limit movement throughout the hospital. Visitors may also be asked to leave if the care team deems necessary for any clinical reasons. Clergy and pastoral visitors do not count toward the patient’s visitor quota.

Face coverings remain required at all Beebe care sites and must meet certain requirements based recent research, medical studies, and the latest guidance from the CDC.

Beebe officials also said visitors should also expect to:

•  Wear a mask or face covering;
• Answer COVID-19 screening questions, such as whether you have been sick or been around others who might be sick;
• Have your temperature taken;
• See Plexiglas dividers at some stations and visual cues on the floor to encourage physical distancing;
• Call when you arrive, or complete registration in your car;
• See continued limitations of the number of visitors are still in place.
