No visitors allowed at Nova Scotia Health Authority hospitals

The Nova Scotia Health Authority says no visitors will be permitted in any of its hospitals as it works to limit the spread of COVID-19.

There are a few exceptions:

• patients at end-of-life; 
• a designated person per patient is permitted in labour and delivery rooms; 
• parent/guardian with pediatric patients; 
• substitute decision makers as required for plan of care.

In the case of pediatric patients, an exception may be considered for two parents in consultation with the care team.
