Visitor Restrictions
New California Department of Public Health Visitor Restrictions
Thank you for your understanding as we implement new California Department of Public Health (CDPH) requirements for our hospital visitors.
In compliance with the CDPH order, all hospital visitors are required to show either proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test (obtained within the last 72 hours). These requirements don't apply if you're visiting a clinic or outpatient facility.
If you are fully vaccinated (two weeks after your last dose), you must present one of the following as proof of vaccination:
- Your CDC-issued COVID-19 vaccination record card (or WHO Yellow Card) with your name, vaccine type and date last dose administered.
- A photo (or digital image) of your vaccination record card.
- Documentation of COVID-19 vaccination from your healthcare provider.
- Digital record and QR code with your name, date of birth, vaccine dates and vaccine type. Learn how to obtain a digital copy of your vaccination record.
If you are not fully vaccinated, find out about getting tested (testing at our facilities only available if you're a current patient with a doctor's order).
Visitor Guidelines
Our visitation guideline continues to be modified based on prevalence of COVID-19 cases within our region as reported by regulatory bodies and state-driven mandates. Exceptions for certain circumstances may be made by unit leadership and nursing leadership.
Hospital visitors: Two designated visitors (parents/legal guardians) may visit a child for the duration of the hospital stay. The two designated visitors may stay overnight.
COVID-19 patients: Two designated visitors (18 years or older) may visit a child for the duration of the hospital stay.
NICU: Two designated visitors (18 years or older) may visit a child's bedside at a time — only one visitor may stay overnight. Visitation is restricted to these two visitors for the duration of a child's hospital stay.
Labor & Delivery:
- Two support people in Labor and Delivery 24 hours a day
- Two support people for Antepartum patients between the hours of 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.
- Two support people for Postpartum patients between the hours of 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.
- One support person for Antepartum and Postpartum patients overnight
- One support person for COVID-19 patients (support person may leave/trade out once in a 24 hour period)
Faculty Medical Clinics: One parent is allowed during a child's appointment. For adult patients, visitors are not allowed at the clinic unless the patient needs translation or help getting around.
COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters for Kids
Kids six months and older can receive vaccines for COVID-19. Kids five years and older can receive a booster shot, if eligible. The vaccine is safe and highly effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. Get your child vaccinated.
