Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19

Measures to protect our patients and staff

Ensuring the highest possible level of safety for our patients and staff is a prime concern in our hospital. For this reason the following safety measures are still in place as a precaution:

Checkpoints

Entrance to the hospital is only possible via designated checkpoints, without exception. Hand sanitization is required and will be supervised by trained members of staff. Anyone wishing to enter the hospital, and who is not excluded from doing so by our access restrictions, will be assessed using a screening questionnaire and temperature check.

Face masks are mandatory

Both patients and visitors must bring their own protective mask to cover their mouth and nose and wear it in all areas of the hospital.

Coronavirus testing before inpatient stays

Patients who are scheduled for an inpatient stay in the hospital will be contacted in advance by phone, as a PCR test (using a nasal/throat swab) will be required before you come into the hospital. If the test is negative, you can be admitted as planned for your inpatient stay. If the test is positive, i.e. there is evidence of the virus, we will contact you to discuss what should happen next.

Telemedicine and webinars

Information evenings on childbirth and prenatal classes will be held as webinars (in German). Some services are suspended until further notice.

Current visitor regulations

One visitor is permitted per patient

• per day,
• staying for a maximum of 60 minutes,
• and only in either a private room or the designated visitor areas.

Children under the age of 16 are not allowed to visit.

Visitors are required to give their name and the name of the patient at the checkpoint.

Staff checks

Our employees are obliged to inform their supervisors immediately if anyone amongst their personal contacts is suspected to be ill, is quarantined or unwell, so that the hospital can take the appropriate measures.

Information in the hospital and online

Information is provided in the hospital, on our website and via Facebook about the key protective measures and rules for conduct.
