Points of attention for visiting patients prone to infections

  • A large proportion of our patients are very susceptible to infections. Therefore, please respect the following guidelines.

  • Do not visit if you have a cold or illness yourself.

  • Do not bring flowers or plants.

  • Children under 12 are not allowed to visit.

  • Follow the necessary measures if you want to enter an isolation room. Ask for more information from one of the caregivers.

Visiting hours

  • Visits are possible every day at set times:

    • Weekdays: from 16:00 to 20:00
    • Weekends: from 14:00 to 20:00
  • Come with a maximum of 2 visitors at a time. Minor children belonging to the patient's family do not count towards this number.

  • Limit your visit to 2 hours.

  • Avoid visiting when you yourself are sick.

  • In a double room, both patients may receive visitors at the same time. Make arrangements with each other to avoid large crowds in the room.
