⚠️ Flu and mask update for all visitors to Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust sites ⚠️
There is currently a surge in flu cases. We have seen a sharp rise in infections and, to protect vulnerable patients and keep everyone safe, we are introducing immediate safety measures.
Everyone entering a clinical area at any one of our sites must now wear a surgical mask. Masks will be provided at entrances. We ask that you also use the hand sanitising stations at all entry and exit points and wash your hands frequently during your visit.
If you are feeling unwell, even slightly, please do not come to the hospital. Stay at home until you are fully well. This is essential to protect patients who may be at high risk from flu.
Wards caring for patients with flu will temporarily restrict visiting to two visitors per patient for the next fourteen days.
These measures are in place to keep everyone safe during this period of increased infection. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
