2. Family Visits: Only close family members are usually permitted to visit, and sometimes only one visitor at a time. This ensures that each patient receives the attention and care they need.
3. Health Precautions: Visitors must adhere to strict hygiene protocols. This includes hand washing and wearing protective gear if required.
4. Emergency Visits: In case of emergencies or special circumstances, speak with the ICU staff for possible accommodations.
