Stony Brook University’s hospitals are allowing visitors on a limited basis beginning today, as New York State prepares to ease pandemic restrictions later this month.
Hospital visits had been banned in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in an effort to stop the spread of the disease.
Under the new guidelines, Stony Brook Medicine officials said one visitor over the age of 18 will be allowed to go to the inpatient units between 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Visitors must follow all safety protocols set by the hospital.
