Hospital visiting guidelines change

Visiting guidelines have been changed for visits to a local hospital.

Under relaxed NSW Health restrictions, Brisbane Waters Private Hospital is now allowing patients two vaccinated visitors a day between the hours of 11am and noon and 4pm and 5pm.

Visitors must be at least 12 years of age and have proof they have had two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.

They must wear their own surgical mask.

Visitor numbers will not be allowed to exceed patient and staff numbers.

No visitors will be allowed to the Central Coast Clinic at the hospital.

Screening is in place for everyone wishing to enter the hospital, including temperature checking.

All visitors must maintain appropriate hand hygiene and physical distancing practices (1.5 metres) with one person per four square metres

"The safety of our patients and staff are always front of mind and we ask that visitors ensure they bring their evidence of vaccination with them and be mindful of all social distancing and mask wearing guidelines when visiting our hospital," said hospital chief executive Ms Debbra Ritter.
