DARLING Downs Health is restricting visitor numbers at the Toowoomba Hospital to help manage the spread of coronavirus.
Until further notice, there will be a limit of one visitor per patient, per day to Toowoomba Hospital.
In a statement, Darling Downs Health said while visitors played an important role in a patient's recovery, many hospital patients are more vulnerable to disease and complications and need to be protected from exposure to germs.
Technology is an innovative way to stay in touch, and people can stay connected with their loved ones in hospital through phone, text, email, social media or video-chat.
Individual exceptions will be considered and you can contact the nurse unit manager regarding your family's situation.
It is imperative that if anyone in the community is feeling unwell they do not visit the hospital.
Anyone who is concerned about their health can call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84) to speak with a registered nurse, speak with their GP or alternatively take the COVID-19 quiz here.
