Though policies vary by hospital and by state, to prevent more community spread, hospitals in all 50 states have barred visitors.
The claim: Coronavirus patients are dying alone in hospitalsAs the number of globally confirmed cases of the coronavirus climbs, hospitals scramble to accommodate patients while ensuring the health and safety of staff.
Though regulations vary by hospital and by state, to prevent more community spread, hospitals in all 50 states, and across the world, bar visitors. Most hospitals that implemented these restrictions make exceptions only for patients receiving end-of-life care, hospitalized children and women in labor.
Under such policies across the country, implementation of visitor restrictions falls typically to individual hospitals, but those decisions could be overruled if state or federal government steps in.
