Baptist Health Paducah has tightened their restrictions even further, under the direction of Governor Andy Beshear.

Under the new restrictions, only the following patients will be allowed one visitor, with restrictions:

• Mother & Baby Care: Significant other only

• Essential caregivers allowed for: Minor only (one parent), dependent adult (one caregiver), and end of life patients (determined on a case-by-case basis).

Visitors will only be allowed to use the following entrances: the first floor atrium, emergency department, medical park 3 (first floor), and the Ray & Kay Eckstein Regional Cancer Care Center.

Those entering will be screened, and those with a fever, runny nose, body aches, or respiratory symptoms should not visit and will not be allowed access.

The new policy also states that visitors are not allowed to remain in any part of the hospital after leaving a patient's room.
