Visitor guidelines at North Texas hospitals tightened due to coronavirus concerns

DALLAS - If not in place already, many North Texas hospitals will start tightening up visitor guidelines on Monday.

The leader of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council said some hospital entries will be closed to keep a better track of who is coming in and out of the building.

Visitors will be asked questions, like if they are running a fever, have a cough, or traveled certain countries.

The number of visitors per patient will be limited and decided by each hospital.

Usually, anyone under 16 will not be allowed.
