Rutland Regional Medical Center has restricted visitor access to its 5th Floor Inpatient Medical Unit after a fifth staff member on the unit tested positive for COVID-19. This unit is separate from all outpatient services, including the Foley Cancer Center.
The hospital has been working closely with the Vermont Department of Health to conduct contact tracing and has expanded testing for any staff or patients who may have been exposed. Teams are identifying and reaching out to anyone who may have come into recent contact with the infected staff members, including any discharged patients
