Some hospitals in South Carolina and Tennessee will ban children 15 and under from visiting starting Dec. 30 to protect patients and staff from a spike in flu and measles cases, Prisma Health officials announced.
“By taking this proactive step, we can help ensure our hospitals remain safe places for our patients to receive high-quality care,” Jacie Volkman, executive director of Prisma’s Department of Infection Prevention, said in a statement.
