You are no longer required to wear a face mask inside our hospital buildings, unless you would be more comfortable doing so. We ask patients to wear a face mask if they have a fever and/or respiratory symptoms, but still can and need to go to the hospital.

Outpatient appointments

You can have up to 2 persons with you at your appointment.

Preventing infection

Are you a patient?

Call the department if you are too sick to come. Do you have a fever and/or respiratory symptoms (cold, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath), but must and can come to the hospital? Please wear a face mask.

Are you a visitor?

Please do not come to the hospital if you have a fever and/or respiratory symptoms, such as a cold, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath. This will prevent possible infection of patients, visitors and hospital staff.
