For people coming to work inside the hospital areas (clinical buildings, the board of directors offices), a rapid antigen test is required at their own expense. If a guest has symptoms of cough, fever, difficulty breathing or has a history of contact with a person infected with Covid-19, they should not come to the hospital for business purposes.
