Some wards at Hereford County Hospital have introduced visiting restrictions due to a rising number of cases of the winter vomiting and diarrhoea bug, Norovirus.
As a preventative measure, visiting on Ashgrove and Frome wards is being restricted and will temporarily only be allowed on compassionate grounds and after discussion with the nurse in charge.
An outbreak of Norovirus at Ross Community Hospital looks to have been contained and the Trust expects it to fully reopen to visitors tomorrow
The restrictions are in place to prevent the further spread of diarrhoea and vomiting which is affecting some patients.
Visiting arrangements are under daily review and may change quickly – the Trust asks that visitors call these wards prior to visiting to check the restrictions that are in place.
