NANTUCKET – Flu season is here, and Nantucket Cottage Hospital is taking preemptive measures to protect at-risk patients.
Effective immediately, anyone under the age of 18 will not be allowed to visit the hospital, additionally, anyone over 18 who is feeling under the weather is asked to delay visits until they have recovered.
Despite these restrictions, all pediatric and adult patients who need medical attention are welcome at any time to seek care at the hospital.
These restrictions are temporary and intended to limit exposure to those patients who are already at-risk within the hospital.
