The working day preceding the holidays, i.e. 22 June, is shortened and outpatient clinics will be open until 13:00. On public holidays from 23-24 June, the outpatient clinics, reception desks and phone service of East Tallinn Central Hospital will be closed. Emergency care is available 24/7 from the Centre of Emergency Medicine at Ravi 18, in block E.

From 6 June, visiting hospitalised patients at East Tallinn Central Hospital is allowed again during prescribed visiting hours (from 15:00-19:00 Mon-Fri and from  12:00-19:00 Sat-Sun). The maximum permitted visiting time is limited to 15 minutes, with one visitor allowed at a time. As an exception, visiting patients in the Women's Clinic is still not permitted.

Only persons without symptoms of respiratory disease may visit patients. Visitors are required to wear a protective mask when visiting patients.

A patient satisfaction survey will be carried out at East Tallinn Central Hospital from 4 April to 8 May. The survey will be carried out by interviewing a random sample of outpatients. The aim of the survey is to understand patients' expectations regarding communication and involvement. The questionnaire-based feedback used in the past has this year been replaced by interviews as it gives us a better understanding of the patients' experience and helps us ascribe meaning to it.

The general obligation to wear a mask has ended, but as a hospital we have a duty to protect the health of our patients and staff. All patients coming for scheduled and emergency treatment and procedures/tests must wear a protective mask. In the absence of a mask, the hospital has the right to refuse treatment.
