We are introducing some enhanced measures to help minimise the spread of respiratory infections, including influenza, Covid-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) within our hospitals.
We would like to ask you to support us with this by following the guidance below.
Visitors:
- Visitors with symptoms of a respiratory illness, such as a cough, fever, or sore throat are being asked not to attend the hospital.
- Surgical face masks can be made available for visitors, in wards and departments, who request to wear them while in the hospital.
Patients:
- Encouraging patients with confirmed or suspected respiratory tract infections to wear a surgical face masks, as long as it is clinically safe for them to do so.
- Masks are available for patients in wards and departments for those who are able to wear them.
By following these recommendations, we can better protect our patients, staff, and visitors during this challenging winter period.
