The approaching holiday season and a low number of in-house COVID patients has caused Cookeville Regional to change its visitation policy.
Starting Wednesday, all general, ICU and COVID patients can have one visitor at a time with the option to swap out. Two visitors will be allowed for OB patients, and one visitor with no swap out allowed for the emergency department and same day surgery patients.
Masks are still required to be worn by visitors, staff and patients while in the hospital due to CDC guidelines. Visitation hours remain the same, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. All visitors must enter through the North Patient Tower for check-in.
