Bedford Hospital lifts visiting suspension on all adult inpatient wards

Bedford Hospital has lifted its suspension on all adult inpatient ward visits - with immediate effect.

However, it you have a hospital appointment, you will still have to attend alone and wear a mask.

If you need to visit someone, each patient can now have one visitor for one hour, every day - but the visit must be pre-booked with the ward

Last month, Bedford Today revealed how the hospital had introduced the temporary suspension due to a "rapidly increasing Covid-19" infection rate in the town.
