Are visitors allowed in the treatment area?
We usually do not allow visitors to enter the treatment area due to the risk of cross-contamination to other patients and the risk of getting the infection.

In some special situations like resuscitating cardiac arrest patients, especially in children, we will allow patient attendants(mother ) to be with a resuscitating team.
