Visiting back to normal at Countess hospital
As of April 25, close family and friends will again be allowed to visit patients at the Countess of Chester Hospital. Although England’s Covid-19 restrictions ended in February, some hospital trusts blocked visitors due the recent Omicron wave. Visiting hours are from 1pm to 3pm and 5pm to 7pm daily. A maximum of two visitors per patient will be permitted.
