Your stay

MANDATORY COVID-19 SCREENING BEFORE YOUR HOSPITALISATION
In accordance with the current health measures, a mandatory CoVID-19 PCR test must be undertaken between 48 and 72 hours prior to admission, for all patients. Antigenic tests, also known as rapid tests, are not accepted.
The exceptions to the mandatory testing are as follows:

• you have contracted the CoVID-19 virus, documented by a PCR test, in the six months preceding your date of hospitalisation,
  or
• you have been administered 2 doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine (minimum of 15 days since the 2nd dose) and are in possession of your vaccination certificate,
  or
• you have contracted the CoVID-19 virus, documented by a PCR test, more than six months preceding your date of hospitalisation and have received 1 dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, at least 15 days prior to your hospitalisation.

 

ADMISSION - COVID-19 DOCUMENTS TO BE PRESENTED
In order to avoid delays during your admission, it is compulsory for you to bring one of the following documents on the day of your hospitalisation:

• a negative CoVID-19 PCR test,
  or
• a positive CoVID-19 PCR test, documented in the six months preceding your date of hospitalisation,
  or
• a vaccination certificate of both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine (minimum of 15 days since the 2nd dose),
  or
• a positive CoVID-19 PCR test, documented over six months preceding your date of hospitalisation and a vaccination certificate of 1 dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, at least 15 days prior to your hospitalisation.

Upon arrival without a negative CoVID-19 PCR test or one of the above documents, your hospitalisation may be postponed.

Hygiene measures must be scrupulously observed at all times (wearing a surgical mask, except for children under 5 years old, sanitising your hands and keeping a social distance of 1.5 metre).
