COVID-19 Visitor Guidelines

February 22, 2021
Dear patients and families,
Thank you for choosing UCLA Health for your health care needs. We are committed to protecting the safety of patients, staff, faculty, students, trainees and the general public while maintaining high-quality care at our hospitals in Westwood and Santa Monica and our clinics across the region.
Due to decreasing community spread of COVID-19, we are pleased to be able to safely relax some visitation restrictions at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital and Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Visitor restrictions remain as noted below in our Emergency Department and our Ambulatory Clinics.
New visitation guidelines went into effect February 22, 2021. Please reference the visitation grid here.
The unit or department director or administrative nursing supervisor in partnership with the medical attending physician will evaluate unique situations that may arise.
- Visitors with visible signs or screened for fever and cough will be turned away.
- All visitors allowed access to the hospital must wear a designated name tag that must be visible at all times.
- Visitors must remain masked at all times.
- Visitors may not eat or drink in patient rooms.
- Our dining room is currently closed to visitors who are not here with a patient.
We recommend using the tablet or the phone in your room to connect with and update your loved ones who cannot visit during your stay. If you have questions or need additional information, please call our Office of Patient Experience at (310) 267-9113.
