As coronavirus cases surge across Wisconsin and hospitals begin to fill up, Advocate Aurora has decided to re-implement its 'No Visitor Policy' due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.
“To keep our patients and team members safe, no visitors, with few exceptions, will be allowed until further notice,” the organization announced. “Virtual visits are available so patients can stay connected to loved ones.”
