Niagara Health is now welcoming visitors back to inpatients units.

Starting today, visitors can see loved ones from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.

In-patients can only have one person at their bedside at a time, but there is no limit on how many visitors a patient can have in one day.

Niagara Health is also expanding the guidelines for support personnel.

This will allow more patients, including those 80 and older, to have a support person in emergency departments and urgent care centres.

More information is available here.
