There is a tremendous spike in flu cases and other respiratory illnesses, says Dr. David Weber, the medical director of the Department of Infection Prevention and associate chief medical officer at UNC Hospitals.

Weber said this spike is due to holiday gatherings and travel, predicting continued increase in the coming weeks.

Several hospitals in the Triangle area have implemented visitor restrictions to curb the spread.

Effective Monday, January 5, 2026: Due to recent increasing trends of respiratory illness in our communities, UNC Health will implement temporary, age-based visitor restrictions for all inpatient and waiting areas throughout its inpatient hospitals.

These measures are being introduced to ensure the safety and well-being of patients, staff, and visitors during this period.

Visitor Age Restrictions:
• Visitors who are 11 years old or younger will not be permitted in any inpatient areas or waiting areas.
• Individuals over the age of 11 who are exhibiting respiratory symptoms are also prohibited from entering inpatient areas and waiting areas.

The restrictions go into effect on or before 7 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 5, for UNC Health hospital campuses across the state. In the Triangle, that includes UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, UNC Health Rex in Raleigh and Holly Springs, UNC Health Chatham in Siler City, and UNC Health Johnston in Clayton and Smithfield. In some other parts of the state, some visitor restrictions went into effect earlier this week.

Please note: Patient visitation by a child 11 years old or younger may be allowed by area leadership under exceptional circumstances during this restriction period. Special visiting privileges may be considered for situations such as visits to terminally ill patients, critical care scenarios, or urgent admissions. All exceptions will be evaluated and decided on a case-by-case basis.
