The end of phases 1 and 2 of the Coronavirus SARS-Cov 2 (COVID 19) pandemic in Veneto allowed for the resumption of our activities as they were in pre-COVID times. The number of infected people in our region—currently trifling—proves that the progressive relaxation in the restrictive measures implemented to contain the spreading of the virus has been effective.
With a remarkable employment of organizational resources, our Medical Center, now officially Monastier Hospital Facility, has preserved its Covid-free hospital status, with plaudits of the local Healthcare Authorities of reference.
New access gates guidelines:
- LETTER A (WHITE) – B (BLUE) – C (YELLOW): main gates, always open (24/7), providing access for patients heading to:
Physical Therapy, Pre-admission, Postoperative checkups, Swabs (until 10 a.m.) Outpatient Clinics (specialist examination), Radiology (from 2 p.m.), Cardiology, Admissions, Dental Clinic, other services, and for symptomatic patients.A tensile structure has been set up in front of the main entrance, on top of the access ramp to the Medical Center, for patients to stop and wait.
- LETTER D (NO COLOR): providing access for employees, specialists, suppliers, technicians, patients arriving by ambulance, etc. Rear entry tunnel
- LETTER E (ORANGE): gate open from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., providing access to Laboratory Analysis, Swabs (from 10 a.m.), Radiology (until 2 p.m.), and for disabled, underage and feverish patients.
Pre-filter area in the tensile structure and in the Emergency Room “Camera Calda” (area connected to the ER that will guarantee access to a suitable room to patients reaching the facility)
Outpatient Clinics ‒ Service Areas

Wards – Hospitalization Rooms
