Two support people will be now permitted in the birthing suite.
Both people must wear a N95 mask at all times and return a negative result from a rapid antigen test taken on the day of the visit.
Following the birth, one designated support person will be permitted to stay during the visiting hours of 10am to 8pm. No overnight stays remain in place.

All visitors must report to the front screening desks at the main hospital entrance.
