Southland Hospital is again open to visitors

The Medical, Surgical and Rehabilitation wards at Southland Hospital have now re-opened to visitors.

From May 16 to 24 restrictions were tightened because of Covid19. Some restrictions remain.

A patient can nominate up to two visitors during their stay in hospital but only one can visit at any time.

Visiting hours are 2pm to 6pm and visitors must always wear a surgical grade mask.

Visitor restrictions remain for all other areas with patients to the emergency department and outpatients allowed one support person.

Please contact maternity services and the children’s ward for specific visitor information.
