Hospital Visit Restrictions Eased

Friday, 13 May 2022 16:16

Hospital patients can now have more than two visitors.

Only one visit at a time is allowed and they no longer need to be named.

Masks still have to be worn and visitors are still asked to take a lateral flow test before attending.

The government is also urging people who feel unwell, or have Covid-19 symptoms, to stay away.

"Mask wearing is essential as it helps protect vulnerable patients and HCS staff."

As of Thursday 12 May, five people with Covid-19 are being treated in hospital.

There are 231 active cases.
