SINGAPORE - Hospitals here have tightened the visitor limit as a precautionary measure against the Wuhan coronavirus. Just two visitors per patient are allowed at any one time during visiting hours at hospital general wards.The stricter two-visitor rule has been in place since the first day of the Chinese New Year, Jan 25. By then, the Ministry of Health had confirmed three cases of the infection here. There are now 13 cases, all of whom are Chinese nationals from China's Hubei province.
Mount Elizabeth Hospital and the other hospitals under the Parkway Pantai group, as well as Raffles Hospital, have also set a two-visitor limit for patients. Previously, these private hospitals did not have a limit on the number of visitors to their general wards.A KKH Facebook post said that the measure was taken to reduce patients' possible exposure to the novel coronavirus.
TTSH is barring children under seven, while NUH and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital will not allow those under 12 to visit, and Sengkang General Hospital those under 13.Furthermore, the hospitals are understood to have barred visitors or caregivers with a travel history to mainland China in the past 14 days at the minimum from entering their patient care areas, including the emergency departments, wards and clinics.
