General visiting hours at Mercy Medical Center Merced are from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily[3]. Visitors should be aware that certain areas and patient conditions may have additional restrictions or special rules. For example, children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and are strongly discouraged from entering intensive care units and high-risk areas[3]. All visitors must wear a medical-grade mask that fully covers the mouth and nose throughout their visit, and if a visitor does not have a mask, one will be provided[3].
Visitors are not allowed in the facility if they are currently experiencing respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, sore throat), have had a positive COVID-19 test in the last 10 days, or have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 5 days[3]. Procedural and specialty units might have stricter guidelines, including limits on the number of visitors or additional requirements for masks, gowns, or gloves. It is recommended to coordinate with the patient’s care team for any special accommodations or if visiting specific units.
For further details, the main entrance is typically used for visitors, and specific information for hospital services or contact can be found on the Mercy Medical Center Merced Foundation’s page[7].
