Pet Visitation
Following the recommendation of Ivinson’s Infection Control Committee, pet visitation will be suspended at Ivinson effective April 10, 2020.
Although COVID-19 is not transmitted between pets and humans, a pet could carry COVID-19 on their fur or skin. COVID-19 can be spread through contact with touching an infected area and then touching your face.
These rules are in place for the protection of our patients, staff and providers. There are no exceptions.
