COVID-19

Waratah Private Hospital is taking measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) spreading in accordance with NSW Health Department Orders.

Visiting Restriction Update – 14 October 2022.

As of Friday 14 of October 2022, NSW Health no longer requires the general public to isolate if they test positive for Covid-19.  Restrictions however, may still remain in high-risk settings including hospitals.

Waratah Private Hospital will continue to implement restrictions and requests that visitors:

  • Must be limited to two visitors per patient.  Children under the age of 5 will not be permitted.
  • Do not come in the next 5 days after testing positive to Covid-19 
  • Do not come in if they have any flu-like symptoms.
  • Wear a surgical mask correctly on entry and for the duration of the visit (unless they have a medical exemption)

Patients being admitted for surgery cannot have a visitor wait with them as we are not able to meet the social distancing requirements within the waiting area.

Please follow the following COVID-19 procedures:
