Curbs on number of visitors, duration of visits at hospitals and residential care homes as COVID-19 cases rise

SINGAPORE: Visitor safe management measures at all hospital wards and residential care homes in Singapore will be tightened for four weeks as community COVID-19 cases rise, the Ministry of Health said on Wednesday .

From Oct 14 until Nov 10, patients in hospitals will only be allowed to have two pre-designated visitors for the duration of their stays.“Critically ill patients will be allowed up to five pre-designated patients, and two visitors may be allowed at the bedside at any one point in time,” MOH said in a media release.

Residents of care homes, meanwhile, will be allowed to have up to four pre-designated visitors, and only one visitor may visit at any one time with the visit duration limited to 30 minutes, MOH said. “We also seek the understanding of visitors that visits may have to be suspended if a home is managing active COVID-19 cases. Next-of-kin of residents may approach the home for further details,” the ministry added.

Why must tighten just let us back to normal life treat it as a common flu. And stop reporting cases.
