@blm1007blm1007 Barbara - Aside from masking, I don't see any need for other precautions unless the person is immunocompramised. Then all visitors should be screened, masked and gowned.
Unless the patient is infectious there is little risk to you, so gowns and gloves are not needed.
I spent a lot of time last winter with a friend undergoing aggressive chemo. We were simply asked to mask and sray away at any hint of illness.
What is your concern?

@sueinmn @irenea8 @cwal I want to try to avoid the Flu, RSV, Covid, Virus, Cold etc. etc. or anything to add to what is already there, the BE and routine and all that goes along with it, and then having to "cure" another illness. Other than Covid Feb. 2024 I haven't had any of the others recently or in years. I am fortunate overall.
Truth be, I must wash my hands fifty times a day but in thinking of all to do with visiting in a hospital the hand washing didn't flash in my mind........ but it would have once I arrived to the front door of the hospital. Probably because I thought of glove wearing.
I appreciate hearing all and will keep all in mind.
