Visitors should not see their loved ones if they are feeling unwell, added MOH, and they should avoid sitting on the beds of patients or residents.
MOH also reminded visitors not to eat or drink in the hospital wards or residential areas of the homes, or use the toilets designated for patients or residents.
“They should also abide by the hospital’s visiting hours and do not disturb other patients from their rest,” the ministry said.
Visits to homes will be capped at one hour to allow all families the opportunity to visit their loved ones, MOH said, adding that visitors should continue to schedule the visits with the home ahead of time.
“We also seek the understanding of visitors that visits may have to be
suspended if a home is managing active COVID-19 cases,” it said, noting the next-of-kin of residents may approach the home for further details.
Hospitals here are still seeing “a higher than usual non-COVID workload”, MOH said.
“We seek the public’s continued cooperation to comply with the measures and remain socially responsible to keep patients/residents safe even as we take strides towards normalcy.”
