Current Visitor Restrictions & Mask Requirements
FEBRUARY 2026
Visitors, patients and staff are reminded to adhere to cough etiquette & good hand hygiene. Visitors should not attend if unwell and symptomatic with an acute respiratory infection (ARI) or other infectious disease such as gastroenteritis.
Due to the vulnerable nature of our patients, there may be circumstances where masks could be required due to clinical need. This will be communicated via our staff members, but could include:
- Patients who present with acute respiratory infection (ARI) symptoms must wear a surgical mask (if tolerated)
- Visitors must wear the appropriate mask if visiting a patient with a confirmed or suspected ARI
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community safe.
