Important Guidelines for Pokémon Go Play
There are a few guidelines we ask that our patients, families and visitors keep in mind, however:
- Please be careful not to take photos that have other patients, family members or other guests in them.
- Please note that by posting photos of Pokémon in Mott, you are divulging information about your location. Consider whether you are comfortable sharing this information with others online.
- Please be aware of your surroundings. Do not walk while looking at your phone, and please be careful not to stop in the middle of hallways and public areas.
- Please limit your Pokémon hunting to common areas of the hospital.
A few remaining guidelines for Internet and COVID safety before participating in Pokemon Go:
- Do not use your personal name when creating user names on video games and/or apps. For added Internet safety, there are also parent accounts available. Learn more about parent accounts here.
- Please maintain social distancing while walking in and around the hospital
- Remember that masks or face coverings are still required for all staff, patients and visitors while inside Michigan Medicine facilities and the courtyard area, regardless of vaccination status.
