Hospitals restricting visitors with flu-like symptoms

URBANA – Feeling flu-ish? If you are, some hospitals would like you to wear a surgical mask if you plan to visit their patients, and one hospital doesn't want you to visit at all if you're sick.

Provena United Samaritans Medical Center, Danville, will begin restricting hospital visitors to adults 18 and older without flu-like symptoms, starting Oct. 19.
