With the COVID-19 positivity rate rising in Carroll County and the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant, St. Anthony Regional Hospital has revised its visitation policy. Effective Monday, January 24, 2022, St. Anthony Regional Hospital will limit to one healthy adult per patient. Masks are required for all individuals.

St. Anthony is asking family members and guests to limit their visits unless absolutely necessary. Additionally, any person experiencing identified symptoms (cough, fever, shortness of breath) and those who have been exposed to anyone with symptoms should not visit St. Anthony Regional Hospital.

St. Anthony understands these visitor restrictions may be difficult and will assess the restrictions when applicable. St. Anthony is committed to providing a family-centered care environment, restricting visitors is in the best interest of our patients, residents, tenants, and staff given the current circumstances.
