IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR NBH VISITORS
VISITING RESTRICTIONS
(Effective 12.01am 5 January 2022)
From Wednesday, 5 January, visitors will only be allowed as follows:
- BIRTHING MUMS: partner and a support person during the birth and their partner for the duration of their stay
- END OF LIFE CARE: a partner or significant relative/friend
- CHILDREN: parents only into the special care nursery and paediatric ward
- CONFUSED PATIENTS: a partner or significant relative/friend
Exempt visitors will have a rapid antigen test upon arrival and will be admitted if the result is negative. Visiting times will be at the discretion of the unit manager and will be after 11am each day so we can conduct the rapid antigen tests of new patients being admitted
While this is difficult, it is a necessary action to protect our patients, in the same way as all other hospitals across NSW.
A reminder when accessing the site. Please use WARRINGAH ROAD if you have an appointment or need to access the hospital (other than for COVID testing)
If you attending the COVID Clinic, please use the entry on FRENCHS FOREST ROAD WEST
COVID-19 TEST FOR PATIENTS
A rapid antigen testing booth has been established in the hospital atrium for scheduled patients. Please bear with us as this is a new process and it will help take some of the load from the PCR testing requirements. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment to allow for testing time.
COVID-19 VACCINATIONS
NBH now has a limited number of Pfizer vaccinations available to the public for people over 12 and under 59 years of age.
