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 that have not been vaccinated, require a maximally 24 hour old rapid antigen test. The only exception to this rule is if a negative PCR was done not later than on the prior day. Antigen test results from certified test centers or schools are accepted. Please bring your vaccine certificate or otherwise a negative result of an antigen test. Further details, e.g. on definitions of recovered and vaccinated, can be found here.

There is also the possibility to get tested in test containers in front of the clinics. Note: Online registration in advance and a smartphone to show the generated QR code are required for this: The locations (e.g. head clinic) and opening hours of the test containers can also be found on this website: Register online. A list of all test centers in Heidelberg can be found here.

Patients are obliged to wear a FFP2 face mask at all times while within the NCT. Textile masks or surgical masks are not permitted. We would like to ask you to bring your own FFP2 mask, which can be bought at pharmacies and other locations. Please abide to this regulation – in exceptions, in case you do not have a FFP2 mask on you, we can provide one for you.

Patients of Day Clinic 1 (TK1) as well as Day Clinic 2 (TK2) are tested for SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) at their appointment using a rapid smear test. You will receive more information at your on-site appointment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Relatives can also join the doctor's consultation via their mobile devices.
