Sandwell hospital and BHT limit visitors due to covid-19

Sandwell General Hospital and Birmingham Hospital Trust have now limited visitors to reduce the risk of coronavirus spreading to both patients and visitors.

Visitors for children or those receiving end-of life care will still be permitted, as will birthing partners.

Video calls will be permitted to those who cannot come and visit loved ones. The new rule makes it a more safe environment for the patients and staff at the hospitals and reduces the risk and spread of covid-19.
