If your heading to the hospital to visit someone, there are now some rules in place you must follow.

Because of the latest flu epidemic, Methodist Medical Center, OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, Pekin Hospital and Proctor Hospital have new rules for visitors.

Visitors must be at least 18 years old and there can be no more than two visitors at a time. Also if your coughing or sneezing you'll be asked to where a mask.

The restrictions will remain in place until the outbreak has passed.
