Ethics of rooming-in with covid-19 patients : mitigating loneliness at the end of life

Article indépendant

BUNNIK, Eline M. | SIDDIQUI, Shahla | VAN BRUCHEM-VISSER, Rozemarijn L.

The COVID-19 pandemic is taking many lives around the world. When patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 become critically ill or are dying in hospitals, they must often make do without the physical presence of family members. Family visitation is commonly restricted based on safety concerns. Although spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus should be prevented, and imposing limits on family visitation in hospitals may be instrumental to this end, separation of family members from critically ill patients is not humane. The moral costs of not being able to be together at the end of life may not outweigh the benefits of reducing risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Relaxation of family visitation policies in hospitals is therefore of paramount importance to patients critically ill with COVID-19 and their family members.
