IMPORTANT HOSPITAL CHANGES 

If your support person for labour has visited/resided in or has a guest from a Red or Grey zone in the past 14 days, they will not be allowed to enter the hospital. Please reconsider your holiday travel plans if this will affect your options for support in labour.

When you are admitted to hospital for labour you are REQUIRED to have a COVID swab regardless of symptoms.
