COVID-19 INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS
Where can I find updated information about Covid-19 in Alberta?
Up to date information can be found on the Government of Alberta website.
WHAT MEASURES ARE BEING TAKEN FOR PREGNANT PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL?
- You and your support person will be asked to don a mask upon entry to hospital. You will not need to continue to wear your mask during labour so long as you have a negative Covid screen. Your support person and the hospital staff will however continue to don a mask for your entire stay.
- Patients and their support person will be screened for symptoms upon arrival and at regular intervals after admission. Please know that this is a very important step. If you are found to be at risk, there are accomodations that will be made to allow you and your partner to receive the same excellent care, in a safe manner.
Information for support PEOPLE
The following are a series of rules that have been put in place to help keep patients, their support people, and health care providers safe.
- You will be asked to complete hand hygiene and don a mask on arrival. You will be required to wear your mask for the entire time you are in hospital.
- You will be screened for covid symptoms both upon entry to hospital as well as on arrival to triage.
- You will receive a green arm band which will identify you as a support person and thus allow you to regain entry when you return to pick up your partner/the patient.
