Flu restrictions lifted at Indy hospitals

Hospitals in Marion County are ending restrictions on visitors that they put in place earlier this flu season. The Marion County Public Health Department says Indianapolis hospitals will resume their regular visitation policies on Monday, March 19.  The health department says they are ending the restrictions because the number of patients visiting emergency rooms complaining of influenza-like illnesses has dropped steadily since peaking in January and February. This flu season, Marion County hospitals reported their highest levels of influenza-like illness in three years.
