This week, Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GWH) has updated its guidance on visiting as they move to living with COVID-19.
As part of the new guidance, visiting restrictions have been further relaxed, which now means a patient can have two visitors at any one time, who can stay for any period of time.
You do not need to contact the ward in advance of a visit.
Patients on COVID-19 wards must still be socially distanced from others, so visiting remains restricted to one visitor at a time in these areas, although there are some exceptions such as for those receiving end of life care.
Masks must continue to be worn in all areas of the hospital and in GP surgeries, and you should ensure you are regularly washing your hands.
