From the RUH: We are currently asking all staff, patients and visitors at the RUH to wear face masks in our admission areas.
There are high levels of flu and other respiratory illnesses in the local community, and many are needing care in hospital.
If you are able, please wear a face mask or face covering when in these areas:
– The Emergency Department (children’s and adults’ areas)
– Medical Assessment Unit
– Surgical Assessment Unit
Masks will be provided at the entrances to the hospital, to allow you to wear them in other areas if you wish to do so.
You can also help stop illnesses from spreading by washing your hands regularly with warm water and soap, or using hand sanitiser.
If you have a loved one in hospital, we ask that you please stay home if you have signs of illness. If you experience diarrhoea or vomiting, please do not visit until 48 hours after your symptoms have gone.
If you would like any help keeping in touch from home, our Family Liaison Facilitators can help. Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/ruhfamilyliaisonfacilitators
Thank you for helping to keep others safe during this time.
