[dutchman]

Two wards at Warwick Hospital have been hit by the winter sickness bug norovirus.



Bosses have brought in visiting restrictions on Willoughby and Castle wards as they try to contain it.

If you want to go in it’s limited to two people per patient and can only be between 2:30 and 3:30pm and then from 6 until 7pm.

The hospital is 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 being reviewed and the very latest situation will be posted on their website here.
