Measures to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19
By coughing and sneezing, a person transmits the virus through his nose, throat or lungs. The virus gets into the air through small droplets. If other people inhale these droplets or transfer them via their hands in their mouth, nose or eyes, for example, they can become infected with the virus.
What you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Wash your hands with soap regularly.
- Keep a distance of 1.5 meter of eachother
- Cough and sneeze on the inside of your elbow.
- Use paper tissues
- Stay at home with symptoms of the common cold or flu
- Limit social contacts

Adjustment of our practice organization
12-1-2021
Unfortunately, the Lockdown has been extended because the pressure on hospitals is too high. Fortunately, we have arranged our care at 040verloskunde in such a way that there are no new adjustments needed to provide safe care. However, we can only maintain this with your support.
We therefore ask you: Please, come to your appointment ALONE. Don't bring your kids, either. Partners are welcome at echoes and if you estimate that that is really necessary.
Pregnancy
Our practice locations are open for office hours for the necessary pregnancy checks.
Important:
- DON'T COME WITH A FEVER OR A COLD! Call us well before your appointment and consult with the assistant if you can safely come to your appointment
- POSITIVE FOR CORONA? Are you or a roommate tested positive for the Coronavirus CALL US as soon as you have received a positive test-result. Whether or not you have recently had an appointment with us, we just want to know! (tel. number assistant: 040-2419841)
- MOUTH MASK is Mandatory
- MOUTH MASK by the midwife :The midwives will also wear mouth caps during consultation hours, maternity visits and deliveries.
- Come ALONE to regular appointments! For ultrasounds and important appointments, your partner is also welcome. Don't take kids to the appointments either. We understand that this is annoying, but we need to prevent healthcare professionals from seeing a lot of people unnecessarily.

Urgency
Emergency and delivery care will of course continue, so just call us if you have any questions or complaints. The midwife is always there for you and will work with you to assess whether an extra check-up is necessary.
