Due to increased cases of Covid-19 in hospital and the community, the decision has been made to close Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest to visitors with immediate effect.
Visiting will only be permitted in extenuating circumstances, such as end of life and critical visits. All visitors must carry out lateral flow device (LFD) test at home prior to travelling to the hospital.
Lateral flow self-test kits can be obtained by:
- ordering online for home delivery at https://gov.wales/get-rapid-lateral-flow-covid-19-tests-if-you-do-not-have-symptoms
- collecting locally from most community pharmacies across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire: check here for participating pharmacies near you.
When visiting our hospitals please remember to wear a face mask, this will be replaced by a surgical face mask at reception or ward.
Please remember to maintain social distancing and to wash your hands as often as possible using soap and water and hand sanitiser.
The situation is being monitored at regular intervals and a further update will be made when visitor restrictions are lifted.
We thank everyone for your understanding at this time while we work to stop the spread of this virus.
