In a recent Patch article, officials from Community Medical Center, part of the RWJ Barnabas Health System, will be easing it's rules for visitors at the hospital in Toms River.

According to the article....Community Medical Center will begin allowing patient visitors again, although under strict guidelines, because the cases of the COVID 19 in the Garden State are continuing to decrease.

Community Medical Center released the following guidelines on Monday:

  • All visitors must undergo symptom and temperature checks upon entering any of our facilities. Those with fever or symptoms will not be allowed in.
  • Emergency Department: one visitor per patient is permitted at any time for adult patients. Two parents or guardians are permitted at any time where the patient is a minor.
  • Pediatric Units: two parents or guardians are permitted at any time for minors who are patients.
  • Maternity and Labor & Delivery units: one significant other/support person is permitted. Once in the labor and delivery unit, the designated support person must have extremely limited access to the other areas of the hospital and will not be permitted to leave and reenter the unit.
  • All visitors must be 18 or older, except in rare exceptions as determined by the facility.
  • Adult Inpatient Acute Care Units: one person per patient is allowed, between noon and 8 p.m.
  • Pediatric Psychiatric Patients: only one parent/guardian is permitted if/when a mutual agreement between the care team and the parents/guardian has been reached.
  • Neonatal Intensive Care Units: two parents/support persons are permitted at any time.
  • Behavioral Health Adult Units: no visitors permitted until further notice.
