The Chief of Nursing and Midwifery at East Surrey Hospital has issued some advice to parents and carers. 

Jane Dickson reassures parents that they can bring children and babies to the hospital if they are really unwell. Hospital staff are taking all precautions necessary to protect and provide safe care to all patients during the Coronavirus pandemic.  She says parents should not delay bringing their child to hospital for medical care if they are really unwell, especially if they have an underlying medical condition.
