PARTIAL RELAXATION OF THE VISITOR POLICY

The safety of our patients, staff and visitors remains our top priority.

The Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care has relaxed hospital visitation rules with effect from 9 May, 2020. In line with these new regulations, we are adjusting our visitor policy to some extend also with effect from May 9, 2020. Please call the hospital before your visit to find out about the applicable regulations and, if necessary, to register for a visit. The contact details of our locations can be found here.

In general, the following regulations apply:

• Hospitals and clinics outside Bavaria, including Schoen Clinic Nürnberg Fürth and Schoen Clinic Vogtareuth: No visitors are permitted at this time and until further notice. Exceptions can only be made on an individual case-by-case basis (e.g. for underage patients or patients receiving palliative care) after prior consultation with the hospital manager. These visitors are required to give their full contact details on arrival at reception. This information may be important for tracing chains of infection.
• Hospitals and clinics in Bavaria with the exception of Schoen Clinic Nürnberg Fürth and Schoen Clinic Vogtareuth: Visitors are allowed for most of our patients only to a very limited extent. The prerequisite is that the patient's health status, as assessed by the treating doctor/therapist, allows contact with a visitor. In this case, a permanent, registered contact person or family member can visit, but only during fixed visiting hours, which can be obtained from the hospital. Visitors and patients are required to wear an oronasal mask and keep a distance of at least 1.5 metres. Excluded from the ban on hospitals visitors are still children's wards for close relatives and palliative care wards. The immediate family circle may accompany the terminally ill patient at any time.
• If you have had contact with an infected person within the last 14 days, you are not allowed to enter the hospital.
• You must follow the instructions of the hospital staff and the hygiene regulations.

We are aware that these measures can be distressing for you and your relatives. However, as a health care provider, our priority is to ensure that the health of our patients, staff and their families are not exposed to any unnecessary risks.

Our staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Plus we are constantly updating the website with the latest news and guidelines to keep you fully informed.

Thank you for your understanding.
