Updated Guidance on Mask Usage for Patients and Visitors at the NRH

 Based on new national guidelines, please note the following recommendations which will apply from Friday, 21^st April, 2023:

 Face masks no longer need to be worn by patients and visitors in the NRH.

– If a visitor does wish to wear a face mask, they will be available at reception.

– In some circumstances, patients and visitors may be asked to wear a mask by a member of staff based on the decision of the clinical team.

– It is no longer necessary for visitors to complete a COVID self-assessment questionnaire

– The limits on the number of people permitted to visit a patient has been removed, however, the 1M distance still applies. Each Unit will manage the number of people visiting on their own unit at any given time.

– The length of a visit is no longer restricted; Unit staff will manage the length of time people spend visiting as appropriate

– Open visiting will remain in place as shown in the table above: the requirement to book on the visitor booking system for visits outside of these hours no longer applies. Visits outside of these hours should be coordinated by Unit Staff

– The above guidelines will be reviewed after a trial period, after which the NRH COVID-19 Working group will reconvene to assess if any changes need to be made.
