No change to hospital Covid restrictions

Monday 19 July will mark the end of many Covid-19 restrictions across England.

As with other healthcare settings across the country, our advice to the pubic remains unchanged. We will continue to ask our staff and visitors to wear face coverings to help protect themselves, our patients and our colleagues. Social distancing and visitor restrictions will also remain in place for the time being.

The latest information on any ongoing restrictions within our hospitals can be found on this website, and through our social media channels.

Outside our hospitals, we would also urge people to continue to wear face coverings in any crowded setting in the community as we believe this has made a huge difference in infection rates.

Covid has not gone away. For anybody who is interested in getting vaccinated to offer great protection for themselves and others, please go to the Dorset CCG website for further information of walk ins and vaccine clinics across Dorset, www.dorsetccg.nhs.uk.

Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support of our NHS.
