IREDELL COUNTY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Another hospital in the Charlotte metro is tightening its visitor restrictions as respiratory illnesses continue to rise.

Hospital officials said any child under 14 should only visit if they are seeking medical attention. Siblings are permitted on The Birth Place only, with no age restrictions.
“Exceptions may be made in special circumstances, such as visiting a family member
