Patient visiting will be suspended at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston for all but exceptional cases from Thursday 29 October. The hospital say the two-week change to visiting arrangements is a response to increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases both in the community and among staff and patients at the hospital. For now, visiting arrangements at Lincoln County Hospital remain the same as previously- by pre-bookable appointments.

 The only exceptions to visiting restrictions are:

  • The maternity department will allow one birthing partner to attend

  • Parents who do not show the symptoms of infection can visit their children

  • Visiting of end of life patients
