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

Patients who are scheduled for an inpatient stay or a day patient examination (e.g. endoscopy) in the hospital have to have a PCR test carried out before they come into the hospital.
If the test is negative, you can be admitted as planned for your inpatient stay. The time of sampling must not be more than 72 hours ago before the planned admission time.

If the test is positive, i.e. there is evidence of the virus, we ask you to contact us to discuss what should happen next.

Recovered persons are not required to carry out a PCR test for a period of two months after passed infection. Please bring evidence of your recent COVID infection or recovery to your admission.

Spontaneous delivery/Emergency: Expecting mothers and fathers or other accompanying adults as well as acute patients who cannot provide evidence of a valid PCR test will be tested upon arrival at the hospital. For the molecular biological test a fee according to the current tariff will be charged.

Please check our information regarding PCR tests.

For outpatient services evidence of a negative test, vaccination, or recent recovery from the virus (under the “3-G rule”) is required.

Please check our information regarding PCR tests.

Currently, 2 visitors are allowed in a two-bed room at the same time. With several visitors you can use the designated visitor areas.

Visitors are required

• to show evidence of a negative test, vaccination, or recent recovery from the virus (under the “3-G rule”) at the checkpoint,
• to give their name and the name of the patient,
• and to comply strictly with the specified safety precautions (wearing an FFP2 mask to cover mouth and nose, hand hygiene, distancing rules).

Please check our information regarding PCR tests.

Visiting with children and siblings:
Children have to wear an FFP2 mask at all times. If this is not possible, visiting is not permitted at the moment. Thank you for your understanding.

For

• children and young people under the age of 18,
• vulnerable patients, and
• women who are about to give birth,

a patient’s companion may be admitted to the hospital together with the patient.

Patients’ companions will be tested for coronavirus before admission, as patients are, using a PCR test. Admission is only permitted if the test result is negative. The time of sampling must not be more than 72 hours ago before the planned admission time.

Recovered persons are not required to carry out a PCR test for a period of two months after passed infection. Please bring evidence of your recent COVID infection or recovery to your admission.

Fathers who wish to be present for a spontaneous delivery are tested at the time of admission.

Please check our information regarding PCR tests.

Please note that patients’ companions are not allowed for outpatient examinations.

Exception: If you are a companion of a child/young person or a vulnerable adult, you are required

• to show evidence of a negative test, vaccination, or recent recovery from the virus (under the “3-G rule”) at the checkpoint, and
• to comply strictly with the specified safety precautions (wearing an FFP2 mask to cover mouth and nose, hand hygiene, distancing rules).
