The clinical center announced that visits to hospitalized patients will be suspended as of Friday, February 14th.
They explained that this was done in accordance with the recommendations of the Institute of Public Health, due to the increase in influenza virus activity, as well as the registered number of people suffering from flu-like illnesses.
"Information about the health condition of patients can be obtained by immediate family members (spouse, parents or children) at the registry office by telephone," the statement reads.
The visit will not take place until the epidemiological situation improves.
"The Department of Hospital Epidemiology will continue to monitor the trend of respiratory diseases in the coming period and, based on the epidemiological situation, propose measures to prevent and combat hospital infections. We ask citizens for their understanding and cooperation, as well as to adhere to measures aimed at reducing flu cases," the Clinical Center announced.
