Information for patients and visitors during Alert Level 2


Health and disability services will be available as normal under Alert Level 2, with appropriate safety measures in place.

There will be no changes to planned care – appointments, clinics and surgical procedures will go ahead. People should attend their scheduled appointments at the hospital unless they have been contacted and told otherwise.

People who are unwell with cold or flu symptoms should stay home however and phone the department they are booked to visit to reschedule their appointment or to make special arrangements for urgent care. 

Under Alert Level 2, there are reduced visitor numbers and visitors will be screened at the main hospital entrances.
