A visitor ban imposed at Stevenage's Lister Hospital at the beginning of the first lockdown to help stop the spread of coronavirus has been lifted.
Visitors to adult inpatient wards are being welcomed back, with patients staying in hospital now able to have one visitor for a one-hour timeslot, which must be booked on the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust's website beforehand.
To help ensure the safety of the hospital’s patients and staff, the visitor must be the same person for each visit. After making a booking, visitors must complete a risk assessment to bring with them on the day for the nursing team to review.
