AGH Reinstates COVID Visitor Policy

Allegheny Health Network announced today that they’re reinstating temporary visitation limitations at its hospitals to further protect patients and caregivers as the COVID pandemic continues to surge across communities in the area. Hospital officials say they are allowing just one inpatient visitor in its facilities per day during the regular hospital visitation hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The patient’s visitor/support person cannot change throughout the day. Clergy visitation is also permitted in addition to the one support person. Some exceptions may be made. Visitors to any AHN facility must be age 18 or older and will be asked to present a valid form of identification upon entering. Visitors will also continue to be screened for associated COVID-19 symptoms upon arrival and must always wear a mask.
