Corona virus

At this point we inform about protective measures for cancer patients, measures at the NCT Heidelberg and Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) to minimize the risk of infection and provide general information. Please do not enter the NCT if one of the symptoms mentioned below or contact to a person infected with Covid-19 applies to you. In this case, please reach out to the NCT via telephone only.

We know that these measures demand a lot from you as a patient. Nevertheless, we thank you for your understanding and cooperation in order to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.

Patients are obliged to wear a surgical face mask at all times while within the NCT. Textile masks are not permitted. We would like to ask you to bring your own surgical mask, which can be bought at pharmacies and other locations. Please abide to this regulation – in exceptions, in case you do not have a mask on you, we can provide one for you.

Starting 23 November 2020, patients in day clinic 1 (TK1) will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) through rapid testing during their appointment. You will receive further information during your appointment. For now, rapid testing only applies to TK1 and is expected to be expanded soon. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Due to the current pandemic developments, the UKHD task force has decided that patients may now only enter the building unaccompanied. Exceptions to this are only ordered by a doctor (e.g. interpreters or accompaniment for patients with cognitive impairment). Admission to the NCT is controlled by additional security personnel at the entrance of the building.

Relatives can be connected to the doctor's consultation via their mobile devices.

Entrance area:

• Please bring your own surgical face mask
• Hand disinfection necessary

Coordination office ("Leitstelle"):

• Please fill out  the "questionnaire for patients and accompanying persons"
• Please bring your own pen
