Cuero, TX—Cuero Regional Hospital announced that effective immediately, they are adding additional clarification to their one visitor per patient policy. This is for both Cuero Regional Hospital’s patients as well as Cuero Health Clinics’ patients; only one visitor per patient with additional limits outlined below in the revised policy.

“Cuero Regional Hospital has revised our visitor policy to reduce exposure for those in our building to COVID-19 & limit the number of people in the hospital. Minimalizing the traffic in our hospital and clinics by limiting visitors continues to be an area of focus for us as our staff battles COVID. Also, in order to assure a safe care environment, all Cuero Health departments, patients and visitors are to continue to practice the proven tactics for controlling the spread of COVID-19, including wearing a mask while in the facility,” said Lynn Falcone, CEO of Cuero Regional Hospital.

• One healthy, adult visitor (16+ only) per patient allowed in the hospital. Others that wish to visit the patient are NOT to wait in our facility for their turn.
• Visitors with COVID symptoms or have tested positive for COVID and under quarantine are not to enter the facility unless seeking emergency medical treatment.
• All are required to enter at hospital’s mandatory screening and to wear PPE/mask covering both mouth and nose at all times.
