COVID-19 (coronavirus): Information & frequently asked questions
Here you will find information about our permitted visitors policy, information for patients and their loved ones, and details about the COVID-19 virus, including symptoms and screening.
Visitors & caregivers
We know the support of family and loved ones is important for a patient's health. This support is essential for some patients. We are working hard to make sure our patients who require essential care partners are able to have a visitor with them at the hospital.
To reduce the spread of COVID-19, Sunnybrook must limit the number of visitors in our hospital. Hospital physical space is limited, and we do our best to physically distance where possible.
Effective August 8, 2020, Sunnybrook welcomes more pre-approved essential care partners to visit patients. A patient's care team pre-approves essential care partners; this applies to both hospital in-patients and patients coming to their outpatient appointments.
