From Saint Peter's
University Hospital:"As a women and children's hospital with over 5,000 births, we are prepared to care for laboring women who potentially may be a person under investigation for COVID-19. We have staged our induction suites to be negative pressure as well as the operating rooms in that area so that if a laboring woman requires a C-section or any type of general surgery, it can be performed in that space. We will also be restricting visitors for any patient that has tested positive. For the well-being of our patients, the hospital will provide them with iPads so that visitation with family members and friends can happen remotely." (Patch/New Brunswick, NJ)
