Regulation for delivery room, paediatric clinic and palliative care unit
-
At the MHH Children's Hospital the rule is: One fixed visitor per patient for the entire stay. Exceptions to this visitor rule are possible for the palliative medical situation as well as for accompanying dying patients.
One and the same accompanying person may:
- into the delivery room at the start of labor and delivery
- in the operating room for cesarean section (sectio) and during the waiting time
The accompanying person must be fully vaccinated, recovered or tested negative on the day (test from a recognized test center required).
- We test the birth mothers for COVID-19 when they are admitted for birth. If the test result is negative, the mouth/nose protection can be dispensed with during birth. The accompanying person and the obstetric team continue to wear an MNS. During outpatient appointments/presentations, your accompanying person must wait outside the delivery room.
- For important joint decisions (e.g. birth mode discussion), your accompanying person will be called into the examination room for a joint discussion with the doctor.
- Visiting hours for fathers/mothers 14-19 hrs.
- One additional person from 15-18 hrs
- Family room possible again
- Siblings possible again. Children may ONLY come to the ward with measles vaccination. Please present the vaccination certificate!
- Every visitor needs a test regardless of their vaccination and recovery status. Children are excluded.
The MHH visitor regulations apply to Stat. 84 and 83.
