Hospital visits limited to 15 minutes

Changes brought in in response to rising Covid cases

All hospital visits are to be limited to 15 minutes and must be arranged in advance with the nurse in charge of the ward from this morning.

At 8am, a new policy comes into force at Noble’s Hospital and Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital in response to the current level of community spread of Covid-19 on the Island.

Patients can only receive one visitor at a time lasting less than 15 minutes, masks must be worn at all times and a visitor registration form has to be completed.

If you've travelled to the Island, been identified as a high or low risk contact or tested positive for coronavirus following a PCR or lateral flow test in the last 10 days, you will not be permitted to visit without an exemption from the Cabinet Office and clinical teams.
