Visiting hours have been suspended in the South Wing inpatient unit at Huntsville District Memorial Hospital due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

The MAHC says that testing for patients and staff is ongoing as part of the outbreak management protocols, alongside enhanced cleaning practices to curb the spread of the virus.

Currently, visitation is restricted to one essential caregiver per patient, who must wear a surgical mask and adhere to any additional precautions posted outside the room.
