NEENAH, WI- Due to the rising levels nationwide of coronavirus COVID-19, beginning Monday, March 16 at 10:00 a.m. and continuing until further notice, ThedaCare is implementing heightened visitor restrictions to continue caring for our communities while minimizing the potential for exposure.
Until further notice, at all ThedaCare facilities, all visitors, contractors, and vendors will be screened at entrances. Visitors with experienced fever (100.4), cough, sore throat, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness) or shortness of breath within the past 48 hours will not be able to visit and will be prohibited from entry. The same applies to anyone exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms within the past 48 hours or anyone that had contact with someone known to have coronavirus or actively being tested for coronavirus within the last 14 days.
At ThedaCare Hospitals, Clinics and Surgery Centers:
No visitors will be allowed in rooms of patients with pending or positive COVID- 19 tests, except under extreme circumstances or in a guardian situation.
Anyone under the age of 16 is restricted from visiting, except under extreme circumstances.
One essential visitor or support person may remain with the patient for the duration of the visit. After a visit is complete, visitors must leave the building
and cannot remain in waiting areas, public areas or cafeterias.
Some exceptions may be made for end-of-life situations or other extreme circumstances.
Visitors who are coughing or showing signs of illness will be asked to leave the facility.
Additional restrictions may be imposed based on the clinical status of the patient or provider judgment.

No visitors will be allowed, with the exception of those visiting residents who are experiencing a significant change of condition or at the end of life.
Residents of The Heritage may not visit residents in other areas of the campus.
In ThedaCare Emergency Departments
