We ask everyone aged 13 and older to bring their own non-medical mouth mask to the hospital and to wear it in public areas, such as the hall and waiting areas. Did you not bring your own face mask? Then in you'll get a 'non-medical' face mask at the entrance of our hospital. You do not have to wear a mask if you have been admitted to our hospital.

No, the policy remains the same at UMC Utrecht (see the two questions above). The legal obligation does not apply to healthcare institutions; they may adhere to their own policy.

UMC Utrecht follows national guidelines and has well-thought-out rules of conduct for patients, visitors and employees, including with regard to wearing a mouth mask.
