Does anyone know if those of us on immunosuppression drugs are allowed to visit poorly people in hospital?

Thanks, Sarah

You are allowed but even pre pandemic you should consider what people are in for, could they be an infection risk to you? Could other patients be infections to you? The risk is probably no different from going to a supermarket but the supermarket will have better ventilation and air movement.
