Across Franciscan and IU hospitals in Lafayette, Crawfordsville and Rensselaer,
00:04
these places are putting up restrictions for those who are visiting people in the
00:08
hospital. Star City talked with Vice President of Medical Affairs at
00:11
Franciscan Hospital in Lafayette, Dr. Daniel Wickert, on how it's handling the
00:16
rising numbers in flu, COVID and RSV. We have collaborated together with both
00:20
hospitals to say we believe that visitor guidelines should be placed in order to
00:24
protect patients in the house and people who are coming in to visit patients in
00:29
the hospital. While these patients may not have only been here for flu, COVID
00:33
and RSV, they may have another condition and happen to also have tested positive.
00:37
We've seen a significant increase over the past week to week and a half. Our
00:40
census today at Franciscan in Lafayette is we have 15 individuals who are in the
00:45
hospital who are positive for either COVID, flu or RSV. Dr. Wickert and the
00:51
staff at Franciscan highly recommend if you have any symptoms such as cough,
00:55
fever, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and etc. to not come and visit your
01:00
loved ones in the hospital. We don't want to spread your illness in here to
01:04
patients who are in the hospital for other for other reasons or other
01:07
conditions. If you are going to visit someone with respiratory problems, then
01:11
you'll be asked to wear a mask while visiting that patient through the
01:14
holidays. And we've just seen this increase. It's not unexpected. This is
01:19
the time of year when we see these increases. So it's expected and we're
01:22
just we're watching it on a regular daily basis. And the best way to help
01:26
your local community and Franciscan is to wash your hands. And that's an
01:30
important component of of diminishing the possibility of spreading these
01:37
illnesses around. For more information, check out star city tv dot com.
