Children under 12 won’t be allowed to visit patients at seven ThedaCare hospitals.
The temporary ban started yesterday and officials say it’s an effort to prevent the spread of the flu.
The restriction impacts hospitals in Appleton, Neenah, Shawano, New London, Waupaca, Berlin and Wild Rose.
Big brothers and big sisters, who don’t have cold or flu symptoms, will be able to visit the maternity unit to see their new sibling.
