Restricted visiting hours and screening checks will be in place for all visitors to Mater Dei Hospital as from Wednesday, in a bid to limit the spread of Covid-19
Mater Dei Hospital is revising its visiting hours in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus in Malta.
All visitors entering the hospital will also be screened for a high-fever, with Mater Dei advising that there might be some waiting time and queues as a result.
The new measures will be in place as from 11 March.
Visiting hours will be revised as follows:
Monday to Sunday
- 11:30am to 12pm (strictly one visitor per visit)
- 5pm to 6pm (strictly one visitor per visit)
Screening checks will take place for visitors entering from the main hospital entrance, as well as those of the Day Care, Outpatients and A&E departments and the Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre.
The protocols will be in place until further notice.
