A negative test for COVID-19 is required for planned admission to hospital

5. 11. 2021

In order to protect the patients in the hospital and our staff, we would like to inform all patients who will be hospitalized at the Hořovice Hospital that a COVID-19 certificate will be required upon admission.

Planned income

A patient who has not been vaccinated against COVID-19 disease shall present a negative RT-PCR result for SARS-CoV-2 virus that is less than 3 days old at the time of admission for elective hospitalization. The patient will undergo RT-PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 at his/her own expense.

Persons who are unable to be vaccinated against COVID-19; they must provide proof of this to the health or social service provider performing the test by a medical report explicitly stating that the person is unable to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for medical reasons, unless this fact is listed in the Infectious Disease Information System (ISIN), shall undergo an RAT-antigen test on the day of admission to the hospital at the collection point in the parking lot outside the NH. You will be scheduled for the RAT antigen test by our staff.

A vaccinated patient who has expired:
- At least 14 days since the administration of the vaccine dose in the case of a single dose schedule,
or
- at least 14 days after the first dose of vaccine in the case of a two-dose schedule,
or
- at least 14 days after the administration of the second dose of vaccine in the case of a two-dose schedule
undergo a RAT antigen test on the day of admission to the hospital at the collection point in the parking lot outside the NH. You will be scheduled for the RAT antigen test by our staff.

A person who has had laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 disease, has had a period of isolation, and has not been more than 180 days since the first positive POC antigen test or RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2, and who proves this claim, will have a RAT antigen test on the day of admission to the hospital at the collection site in the parking lot outside the NH. You will be scheduled for the RAT antigen test by our staff.

Acute admission

All patients on acute admission for hospitalization at the NH will be given a laboratory antigen test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus antigen, except when the patient documents:

- A negative RT-PCR result for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus that is less than 3 days old,

or

- a negative RAT antigen test result for SARS-CoV-2 antigen that is less than 24 hours old.
