Two new wards hit by norovirus at Warwick Hospital

The norovirus outbreak at Warwick Hospital shows no signs of letting up.



Another two wards – Victoria and Hatton – now have cases of the winter sickness bug so have restricted visiting.

It’s the same situation on Malins, but Mary should re-open later today.

Castle and Willoughby are also now back to normal.

The outbreak has now entered a third week.

Visiting on Victoria, Hatton and 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.
