Bedridden patients can receive visitors in the ward. In the case of patients who are not bedridden, if possible (depending on the weather), visits can take place outdoors or in a designated community space.
During visiting hours, visitors may participate in general care activities with the patient, but may not perform specialist nursing activities. The visitor can perform the care tasks (depending on the patient's condition and mobility) in consultation with the nursing professionals.
The visit must not pose an additional risk of infection/disease for the patients. Regarding to this:
- visitors showing symptoms of an infectious disease may not enter the institution,
- visitors who are under the influence of alcohol or other psychotropic drugs may not enter the institution,
- following the legal regulations, hand sanitisers must be provided at the entry points and visitors must be made aware of this,
- in enclosed spaces, especially during visits, special attention must be paid to continuous and regular natural ventilation in order to reduce the concentration of pathogens.
