Coronavirus: Q&A on the situation at Hirslanden

We are constantly monitoring the situation and can switch from normal to emergency operation within 48 to 72 hours if necessary. We are also in contact with the cantonal authorities in our site cantons to ensure an adequate distribution of Covid-19 patients between hospitals or to provide other support. Depending on the current situation on site, most planned interventions can still be carried out.

Thanks to a strict separation of patient flows for coronavirus and non-coronavirus patients, the risk of infection in our hospitals is extremely low.

Accordingly, they are very well prepared concerning the processes for dealing with suspected and confirmed cases.
