Due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the community and current outbreaks of Covid-19 within the hospital, visiting at Letterkenny University Hospital has been suspended from today.
A spokesperson for the hospital said visiting will be facilitated on compassionate grounds, on an exceptional basis only. To arrange a visit on compassionate grounds, please contact the ward manager in advance.
The nominated support person/visitor must complete a Covid-19 screening checklist and follow the public health guidance, including wearing a FFP2 surgical face mask (when requested) or surgical face mask and performing good hand hygiene regularly.
There are separate arrangements in place for access to the maternity department for nominated support partners, in line with national guidance.
The limitation on visiting access will remain in place for one week and will be kept under review.
