The Detroit Medical Center announced updates to its hospital visitor policy Wednesday that allows only one support person to visit inpatients per day.

Due to a decline in Michigan COVID-19 cases statewide and increased vaccination rates all Beaumont Health hospitals are allowing patients to have one support person or visitor each day regardless of vaccination status.

The Detroit Medical Center (DMC) announced new hospital visitor restrictions Friday amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in Michigan.

Beaumont, Grosse Pointe, Royal Oak and Troy already reinstated visitor restrictions on Tuesday, Nov. 10. “We’ve had a notable rise in COVID-19 cases in Metro Detroit,” said Dr. Nick Gilpin, medical director of Infection Prevention and Epidemiology for Beaumont Health. Visitors with a person receiving care at Beaumont, Grosse Pointe, Taylor and Troy must leave after bringing that person into the Emergency Center.
