In an effort to protect patients and visitors during the flu season, beginning Monday, October 26th., Cabell-Huntington Hospital and Marshall University Medical Center are implementing flu safety restrictions by requiring children under the age of 18 to not come to the hospital unless they are patients seeking medical care or the parent/guardian of a patient. They are also advising children to not accompany other family members who go to doctor appointments, but, if they have no other choice, they're advised to wear a mask. Adult visitors with flu-like symptoms should not visit patients or the hospital campuses unless absolutely necessary, and, in such cases, visitors shold wear a mask.
