Hospital visits in Gauteng now extended to 15 mins
The Gauteng Department of Health announced expanded visiting hours to
hospitals on Tuesday.
Gauteng hospitals will now allow one visitor to visit a single patient for 15 minutes a day.
“The amendment will permit relatives and friends of patients to spend time with their loved ones whilst adhering to Covid-19 safety measures such as social distancing, minimising overcrowding, and hospital congestions,” says spokesperson Kwara Kekana.
Kekana adds that to minimise the amount of vistors, relatives of patients can get contact details of the ward where their loved ones are admitted so they can call instead of having to visit the hospital.
