Important points of attention

• Don't come too early to the hospital, to avoid over-crowding in the hospital.
• Do not visit if you are ill or if you have COVID-19 symptoms.
• Disinfect and wash your hands regularly.
• Leave the window in the room ajar for ventilation.
• A face mask is mandatory for everyone as of the age of 12 years. A FFP2 mask (without valve) is highly recommended, especially when you're visiting a patient on any of the following wards: E 435, E 650, E 467, E 630, E 662 or E 663. In other cases, a surgical face mask is a good choice.
• For patients who are at an increased risk in case of an infection, we recommend that children younger than 12 years also wear a face mask.
• You do not need to register at reception in the big reception hall. You can go to the ward directly. If you do not know the way to the ward, you can ask reception for directions.
• On the ward itself you have to register.
• Disinfect your hands again when entering and leaving the ward.
• Visits always take place in the patient's room and not in other areas of the ward or the hospital.
• Please remember that the patient is vulnerable so keep the necessary distance. Keep your face mask on at all times.
• Do not leave the room during your visit.
• Immediately go home after your visit.

Small gifts

• Flowers and plants are allowed except on wards with more strict guidelines because of specific disorders. Make enquiries before your visit.
