Georgia Health Sciences Health System officials announced Wednesday that visitation has been restricted to friends and family over the age of 17.
In a release, hospital officials cite a rise in flu cases among school-aged children as a reason behind the age restriction.
Anyone over the age of 17 who has flu-like symptoms is also asked to refrain from visiting hospital patients.
The Georgia Health Sciences Health System is a nonprofit corporation that manages a 478-bed medical center, a critical care center, a children's medical center and over 80 other outpatient practice facilities.
