New visiting guidelines from 15 June: wear a face covering and keep your distance

Everyone who comes into hospital must wear a face covering. Your face covering must cover your mouth and nose.

You can buy face coverings from various places online, or you can make one at home by following the government’s instructions.

Remember, face coverings are just one way to protect yourself, other patients and staff. They only work if everyone uses them and wears them properly: with your mouth and nose covered.

You must follow our social-distancing guidelines too.

Check your symptoms

We're checking everyone coming to Central Middlesex and Ealing hospitals for COVID-19 symptoms to help keep the virus out. We'll take your temperature and ask you a series of questions to check for symptoms.

If we have any concerns about your symptoms you won’t be allowed in, and we’ll reschedule your appointment if we need to.

We’ll start doing the same at our other locations soon.

This applies to everyone who's coming to hospital for planned appointment or procedure, and members of the public visiting someone in hospital.

If you need emergency care, we're still open as usual but you must still wear a face covering.

Keep your distance

Pay attention to the signs and floor markings that show you how much distance to give other people. Our shops and outlets are allowing a few people in at a time, and they’ve laid out one-way systems to help social distancing.
