[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm due in 2 months, and I'll deliver at the WHC. I delivered there a few years ago, so I don't remember anything, but I was wondering what the COVID protocols look like?

1. COVID testing? do I have to go to the hospital before for testing? how does it work if I'm planning on a Epidural?
2. Can partners come and go?
3. # of visitors? Is it still just 1?[/quote]

I may deliver at WHC and asked a friend who works in Maternity. This is what she said:
1. They test on admission. You do not need a pre-test. If you tested positive within the last 90 days and do not have new symptoms, they will not retest and will assume you are negative if you’re at least 10 days out from your last test.
2. If you test positive, I believe that they can’t come back if they leave and you can’t replace them with somebody else.
3. Two on L&D if negative, one if positive. One on postpartum. One support person can be designated for NICU if you are negative and that person can’t be changed.[/quote]
