COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Face mask guidance

From Monday 3 April 2023 we are relaxing the requirement to wear a face mask for staff, patients, carers and visitors. This follows an agreement with our NHS Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System (ICS) partners and local risk assessments.

Patients, carers and visitors are not required to wear a face mask unless they have suspected or confirmed COVID-19 or another respiratory infection.

Masks will still be available at the hospital for anyone who would like to wear one.

Visitors should not come to the hospital if they have COVID-19,other respiratory infection symptoms or have experienced diarrhoea and/or vomiting in the last 48 hours.

All patients and visitors are asked to wash and /or gel their hands on arrival and departure from the hospital, as well as entry and exit from wards.

Our visiting restrictions

Restricted arrangements for visiting patients remain in place.
