Covid: Northamptonshire hospitals limit visits and reintroduces facemasks

Covid: Northamptonshire hospitals limit visits and reintroduces facemasks Hospital visitors are being asked to wear facemasks and limit their time on wards to help prevent the spread of Covid, two NHS trusts said.

Kettering and Northampton general hospitals, in Northamptonshire, have made facemasks mandatory for all visitors to wards and clinical areas.

Visiting inpatients has been restricted to one visitor for one hour a day.

The changes follow an increase in Covid cases in hospital and in the community, both trusts added. BBC Northampton
