The general obligation to wear a mask has ended, but as a hospital we have a duty to protect the health of our patients and staff. All patients coming for scheduled and emergency treatment and procedures/tests must wear a protective mask. In the absence of a mask, the hospital has the right to refuse treatment.

A patient satisfaction survey will be carried out at East Tallinn Central Hospital from 4 April to 8 May. The survey will be carried out by interviewing a random sample of outpatients. The aim of the survey is to understand patients' expectations regarding communication and involvement.

The outpatient rehabilitation group services of East Tallinn Central Hospital will be open again as of 21 March 2022. See services: https://www.itk.ee/en/patient/services.

As the number of people infected with Covid has decreased, the need for Covid beds has also fallen and the hospital is closing another department intended for Covid patients. Scheduled treatment will be restored gradually.
