An outbreak of coronavirus has been declared at the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport.
Aneurin Bevan University Health Board says it's responding to a COVID-19 outbreak which has affected three adult wards.
There are currently 14 patients affected. There are no staff affected in the outbreak wards and no patients from these wards have needed to be admitted to Intensive Care.
"We have reintroduced a ‘no visiting’ policy at the hospital, with the exception of visits agreed for Maternity and Paediatrics patients.
We would ask anyone with COVID-19 symptoms to avoid visiting our hospitals across Gwent. Those people affected should isolate, arrange for a test, and manage their symptoms at home. Patients with worsening symptoms should call NHS 111 for help and advice. As always, please dial 999 in an emergency."
