  • Visitor restrictions reduce the number of people inside to enable social distancing and keep patients and employees safe.
  • Facemasks are worn by everyone inside the hospital – patients, employees and physicians.
  • Caregivers are using appropriate personal protective equipment and washing hands before and after caring for every patient.
  • Cleaning protocols have been enhanced with extra measures and increased frequency, including disinfection of frequently touched surfaces and all patient care areas.
  • Furniture in waiting areas arranged to support social distancing.
