医院必须在控制COVID-19传播的需要与患者、家属和卫生专业人员的社会心理需求之间取得平衡。为控制导致2019冠状病毒病的病毒——严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2的传播，许多医院都有严格的访客限制政策。这些政策通常禁止父母双方同时来访，或者禁止祖父母或其他家庭成员来访。我们讨论了这些政策造成道德困境的案例，并可能要求一般规则之外的富有同情心的例外。
Hospitals must balance the need to control the spread of COVID-19 with the psychosocial needs of patients, families, and health professionals. To control the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019, many hospitals have strict visitor restriction policies. These policies often prohibit both parents from visiting at the same time or having grandparents or other family members visit at all. We discuss cases in which such policies created ethical dilemmas and possibly called for compassionate exceptions from the general rules.
