Play your part and help us to prevent the spread of infection by adhering to the below guidelines:
- When inside the hospital a facemask is required in all clinical areas unless an exemption is granted. Clinical areas include the Emergency Department, Specialist Clinics, Surgical Admissions and Bookings, Facemasks are not required, but available in non-clinical areas.
- Clean hands help protect us against infections. Wash your hands often with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, use hand sanitiser regularly.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or the crook of your elbow.
- Stay at home, undertake a COVID-19 test and isolate if you feel unwell.
- Physical distancing, where possible, is recommended to assist with stopping the spread of infections.
- It is recommended patients consider getting vaccinated against COVID-19 and influenza if they are eligible.
