“Although it is recommended that the number of visitors be reduced to those essential for the pregnant individual’s well-being,” the guidance states, “ACOG encourages facilities to consider innovative solutions and localized, collaborative approaches that ensure patients have the support and stability they need while pregnant, during labor, and postpartum if in-person support must be limited.”
