We're at Alert Level 1! What does that mean if I want to visit a loved one at Middlemore Hospital?

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

We’re back at Alert Level 1 whaanau in Tamaki Makaurau! What does this mean if you want to visit a loved one at Middlemore or go to one of our other DHB sites?

• Visiting hours will be between 2pm and 8pm with no more than two people permitted per patient at one time.

• A key support person can visit between 8am and 8pm or at all times by arrangement for compassionate reasons - please check with the charge nurse on the ward your loved one is on.

• Visitors including repeat visitors, outpatients and their support person will continue to be screened, using questions based on current COVID-19 case definition, and registered to enable contact tracing prior to entering the site.

• Children under the age of 16 may visit between 2pm and 8pm by arrangement for compassionate reasons - please check with the charge nurse on the ward your loved one is on.

For more info on our visitor policy, check out our website: bit.ly...

Remember to stay vigilant whaanau - wash your hands, 2 metre physical distance, stay home if you're unwell, go and get tested if you’ve got any of the symptoms and keep using the NZ COVID Tracer app or keep a record of where you’ve been and when. #stopthespread #uniteagainstcovid19
