Hospitals tighten corona measures | News

They limit visits for patients, make face masks mandatory again and ask patients if possible to come unaccompanied, Trouw writes.

Supervisors will no longer be welcome at Radboudumc in Nijmegen from Monday and patients may only receive one visitor per day, unless a patient may die. In that case, two visitors are welcome. “We do this to protect you, your loved ones and our patients. The fewer people visit Radboudumc, the smaller the chance that patients and visitors will pass the virus on to each other,” explains the academic hospital. Mouth caps also have to go back on.

The Haaglanden Medical Center (HMC) in The Hague, the LangeLand Hospital in Zoetermeer and the Laurentius Hospital in Roermond, among others, took similar measures this weekend.

The hospitals feel compelled to introduce stricter measures, now that the number of corona patients in hospitals is increasing.
