The University of Virginia Health system will adjust its visitation policy on Thursday to allow younger visitors, more visitors and longer visits, citing the abating surge of COVID-19 and dropping case counts. The health system, which includes the UVa Medical Center and other inpatient and outpatient facilities, will allow visitors 12 years old and older who do not have COVID or other illnesses and allow two visitors at a patient’s bedside from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. One visitor will be allowed to stay overnight, a major change from the current visitation policy.
