Another ward at Warwick Hospital is hit by norovirus

[dutchman]

Days after a ward re-opened another has now been affected at norovirus at Warwick Hospital.



It means there will now be visiting restrictions throughout the weekend on Mary and Malins wards.

A third, Castle, which first saw cases of the sickness and diarrhoea bug last week is due to re-open tomorrow.

Willoughby had restrictions lifted on Wednesday.

Visiting on Mary amd Malins wards is limited to two people per patient, however, and can only be between 2:30 and 3:30pm and then from 6 until 7pm.

The hospital’s also asking anyone with sickness and diarrhoea to stay away from any ward until they have been free of symptoms for at least 48 hours.

They’re also reminding people to contact their GP and not go to the A&E unit unless it’s an emergency.

The visiting restrictions are continually being reviewed and the very latest situation will be posted on their website here.
