Twice daily hospital visits are back; only 2 allowed

Come Monday 7th November, relatives of patients in hospitals can visit twice a day.

A release from the Ministry of Health announced that only two people are allowed bedside at any given time.

The times allotted for visits are 11 am-12 pm and 4 pm-6 pm, though other arrangements can be made with the patient’s nurse or doctor. Those requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis and with permission from the patient’s attending nurse or physician .

The Port of Spain General Hospital is the only exception to this, with morning visits remaining. This is because of ongoing levelling at the Central Block, which starts and continues from 1 pm daily.

The ministry reminded the public that covid19 protocols are still in effect and masks are required at any health facility – private hospitals registered under the Private Hospitals Act, public hospitals and private or public medical clinics.
