Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: Pandemic visitor policies: Parent reactions and policy implicationsIn 2020, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) modified visitation policies as a preventative measure to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission.Many NICUs limited the number of persons who could visit or denied visitation altogether. 1 Visitation recommendations were sparse at the beginning of the pandemic, with the American Academy of Pediatrics recently providing visitor recommendations.Specific guidance for limiting visitors was only for SARS-CoV-2positive patients, which recommended one essential visitor.In accordance with the recommendations, hospitals were encouraged to implement their own detailed policies.
