GSH officials say that the other restrictions at the hospital remain in effect as normal. No visitors allowed with any symptoms of illness such as fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and runny nose. No visitors allowed under the age of 16 and only 2 visitors allowed in inpatient units during visiting hours, which are 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. ET.
