Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City is easing visitation policies, now allowing two visitors per patient.

Visiting hours at CRMC are 6 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

The change was effective Thursday.

Visitation remains prohibited for COVID-19 patients in the Intensive Care Unit or the COVID-19 units.

Two visitors will also be allowed to accompany patients into clinics.

The emergency department will allow one visitor to accompany a patient.

Visitors will be screened upon entry and must wear a mask that they bring. The mask must be worn at all times.

For CRMC's entire visitation policy, visit crmc.org/visitors.

St. Mary's Hospital also made changes to its visitor policy recently.

Because of a lower number of hospitalizations and lower community prevalence of COVID-19, St. Mary's Hospital is allowing patients one visitor at a time, rather than only one per day. The hospital is also allowing visitors to stay overnight.

The full policy may be found at ssmhealth.com/locations/st-marys-hospital-jefferson-city.
