Crazy question....coronavirus

[Robs20]

Ok so I will start by saying I am normally quite level headed and am aware this might sound ridiculous.

I have all of my antenatal care at St Thomas’, where some coronavirus patients are being treated. I am there at least once a week, including tomorrow.

I don’t know whether to cancel the appt or not. Surely other patients are well protected and this is a silly thing to worry about.....?!

I wouldn't worry about it at all! There's lots of infectious diseases in any hospital at any point and we never give it a second thought. The patients being treated will be in strict isolation and barrier nursed.

You're perfectly safe to go!

Op I wouldn't go x

All of mine is at the hospital on the south coast where the GP who is infected worked in A&E..I'm due in next week. Advice is still to go but must admit I'm having my doubts as I am about going out of my house/on public transport/anywhere

I'm worried and not in your situation so fully understand. My boss says I'm more likely to die because of something falling off the windows of a building, but that still does not convince me and I am terrified.

I bet statistically you're more likely to catch coronavirus on your way to the hospital, at work, in the supermarket etc than in a hospital environment continuously being cleaned! If it was considered a risk you'd be advised not to go and the maternity unit would be closed.
