(The Center Square) – Some Virginia universities have started kicking out students who refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and other institutions may start following suit.
As of Friday, Mary Washington and Stafford hospitals in Fredericksburg and Stafford, respectively, moved to what it’s calling visitation red status. That means no one may visit patients in either hospital.
“With the drastic rise in COVID-19 cases in our community and under our care in our hospitals and facilities, it is in the best interest for the safety of our staff, providers, and patients to restrict visitation at this time,” says Christopher Newman, MD, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer for Mary Washington Healthcare.
