Keep distance and wear masks
In Kenya, the same rules apply as in Switzerland, so that the spread of the coronavirus can be contained as far as possible. Therefore, it is also a matter of course at Rhein-Valley Hospital that a distance of two meters is maintained. In addition, adult patients wear respirators.
