From Thursday 4th May 2023, visitors to Salisbury District Hospital are once again no longer required to wear face masks, unless it is their personal preference to do so.

These changes have been made in line with national guidance on the mandated use of face masks in healthcare settings and reducing numbers of COVID-19 positive cases.

However, to continue to protect those who are most vulnerable and at high-risk, they ask that the wearing of face masks continues where immuno-compromised patients are treated, for example in oncology, haematology, and chemotherapy departments. It remains a priority to help to keep each other, our patients, and our community safe and in order to continue to protect those who are vulnerable and of high-risk, the following guidance must be followed:

• Visitors who are presenting with聽respiratory / COVID-19 symptoms, are on a respiratory pathway, or are immuno-compromised, should wear a face mask if this can be tolerated and deemed safe.
• Visitors may be asked to wear a face mask for specific reasons including in our 鈥榟igh-risk鈥� clinical areas, such as the respiratory department and intensive care unit or due to individual circumstances.
• Vulnerable and high-risk patients and visitors can ask staff members to wear a face mask, and聽these聽will continue to be available to those who choose to wear one.
• All visitors should continue to sanitise their hands on entering and leaving the hospital and ward or department.鈥�

Stacey Hunter, CEO at Salisbury 看片软件 Foundation Trust said: 鈥淚 am delighted that we are now able to remove the use of face masks across most of the hospital. However many people will continue to choose to wear a face mask as their personal preference and this decision will be fully supported by the Trust.鈥�
