Preventing infections

By taking a few simple measures, you can avoid becoming infected or infecting others.

Face mask

Wearing a face mask is not mandatory.

However, do wear a face mask if:

  • you have a cold (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, etc.);
  • you are particularly susceptible to infections;
  • you are visiting a patient that is particularly susceptible to infections.

Disinfect your hands

Regularly disinfect your hands using hand sanitiser.

Hand sanitiser is available at many locations throughout the hospital.

Postpone your visit if you are sick

Are you sick? Only visit your loved one once you have recovered.

Consider vaccination

Vaccines are available against the flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

  • After vaccination, you are less likely to get sick.
  • If you do get sick, you'll be less contagious thanks to the vaccine.

Limit your time in the hospital

Arrive on time: not too early, not too late.

  • Preferably arrive no more than ten minutes before your appointment.
  • Leave for home immediately after your consultation or visit.
