For Patients
Ward Visitor Guide & Registration
From 26 April 2022, in line with MOH’s latest COVID-19 safe management measures to protect vulnerable patients in the hospital setting from possible infection risk, we have put in place the following visitor management measures:
- Visitation is not allowed at Restricted Wards.
- Fully vaccinated patients may receive visitors.
- Non-fully vaccinated patients may receive up to 2 pre-registered visitors for the entire admission period.
- Each patient, regardless of vaccination status, may have a maximum of 2 visitors at the bedside at any one time during visiting hours.
- Caregivers or visitors are not allowed to eat or drink, sit on patients' beds and use patients' toilets in the wards.
- Caregivers or visitors who are in close contact with a case of COVID-19 infection will only be allowed entry by showing photo evidence of an self-swab ART negative result obtained within the last 24 hours.
- As part of social responsibility, all visitors are encouraged to do a COVID-19 self-test prior to visiting patients in wards.
Hospital ward visits are not social activities but are out of necessity for patients’ recovery. We thank you for your understanding.
