Advisable to visit friend who just gave birth? Heard that should avoid hospital?

My personal advise would be to visit them over when they are done with confinement. Let them have a good rest, recover and heal. Always choose the lunch period/tea period to visit them. Not at night because they will have sleepless night and need rest. I would avoid hospital visit esp during this time of virus in the air. Plus hospital like KKH only allow 2 visitor including husband. So better not. You can visit them during baby shower. No harm though. Afterall it is an event.
