Visitor restrictions
Our hospitals are monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and will follow visitor management measures as advised by the Ministry of Health, Singapore. For the latest updates, please read our visitor and patient advisory.
Management of COVID-19 patients
To mitigate any risks of virus transmission, there are safety protocols in place for the management of suspect or confirmed COVID-19 cases in our hospital.
These include dedicated routes of transfer within our hospital which have been carefully planned, with no chance of external contact with the public. These areas are cleaned and sanitised after each transfer of a confirmed COVID-19 patient. The ventilation systems in these wards are also self-contained, eliminating any chance of virus transmission.
We have a dedicated team to look after the needs of these patients, and their responsibilities are limited to their assigned ward throughout the course of their shift. These colleagues are also equipped with, and are required, to put on all the necessary personal protection equipment during the course of their work. As a precautionary measure, food is also served in disposable containers with single-use utensils.
All COVID-19 patients are not allowed to leave their ward. Neither are they allowed any visitors.
Our hospital lifts do not open at the floors where our COVID-19 patients are recovering at, and we have security officers stationed round-the-clock to ensure privacy and prevent any public access.
Workplace safety
Our hospital, clinics and corporate offices will be ensuring compliance with the Safe Management Measures issued by the Ministry of Health following the circuit breaker period.
All staff will be required to check in to their workplace via TraceTogether-Only SafeEntry for contact tracing purposes. They are also required to wear masks, and if necessary, other personal protective equipment at all times, except during activities that require masks to be removed (eg. mealtimes).
