Sanford Health in Bemidji and Bagley Increasing Visitor Restrictions

Due to the continued local increase of COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions with COVID-19, Sanford Bemidji is increasing visitor restrictions in both Bagley and Bemidji.

Effective Wednesday, Sept. 8 at 8 AM, only two people will be allowed to visit a patient per day between the hours of 8 AM and 8 PM, and masks will be mandatory with no exceptions at Sanford Bemidji Medical Center and Sanford Bagley Medical Center.

All visitors must be screened for symptoms of COVID-19 upon entry to either facility in accordance with current CDC and Minnesota Department of Health guidelines. Anyone who is not feeling well, has recently had a known exposure to someone confirmed to have COVID-19, has a pending COVID-19 test, or has been confirmed to have COVID-19 within the last 14 days should not visit anyone in a hospital.
