As more cases have been detected among hospital staff, patients, and visitors, this has led to ward closures and staff quarantine in some affected hospitals, said the Ministry of Health in a press statement on Wednesday.
Patients who require additional care support from caregivers are also allowed visits, including those who have mental incapacities or family members who are undergoing caregiver training.Patients who are in critical condition may be allowed up to five pre-designated visitors, with a maximum of two visitors at each patient’s bedside at any one time.
Eating or drinking in the inpatient wards are not allowed and visitors must not use the patients’ toilets in the wards and must avoid sitting on patients’ beds, the MOH said. Currently, patients presenting with acute respiratory infection symptoms at the hospitals’ ED or 24-hour emergency clinics will be segregated from the other patients.
The ministry said that the government will subsidise the costs of ART for both vaccinated and unvaccinated patients until the end this year. But those accompanying them may have to pay for the tests, depending on the hospitals.
