and last updated

Dignity Health hospitals Arroyo Grande Community Hospital (AGCH), French Hospital Medical Center (FHMC), and Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC) are implementing visitor restrictions out of concerns over significant flu-like activity in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties and preventing COVID-19, according to hospital officials.

The restrictions include:

  • All visitors must be 16 years of age or older.
  • Only one visitor per patient per day is allowed in the hospital.
  • Patients and visitors may only enter through the hospital main entrance or the Emergency Department. All other entrances are currently employee-access only.
  • At MRMC, visitors are currently not permitted at Marian Extended Care Center (MECC).

The hospital says these changes are effective immediately.
