Precautions for Public Hospitals and
Clinics
22 July 2020: Visiting Hours and Visitors at MOH Hospitals
During the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) period, the policy remains the
same as during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, i.e.:
Visitors are only allowed into the ward for emergencies or critical cases, or under
exceptional circumstances.
Visiting hours are shortened, as determined by each hospital.
Health Clinics For appointments, only one companion or carer is allowed, except for
paediatric patients, patients requiring assistance, emergency cases, or in exceptional
circumstances.
This is necessary to reduce transmission risk in hospitals, as well as to break the
continuous transmission of COVID-19 infection. It can reduce hospital congestion and
allows physical distancing to be practiced in hospitals. §
