Visiting Restrictions at UHG due to vomiting bug
Visiting Restrictions are in place at UHG due to the winter vomiting bug.
UHG is appealing to the public not to bring children to the hospital and to adhere strictly to visiting restrictions and hygiene guidelines.
Ann Cosgrove, General Manager, Galway University Hospitals says there are a number of patients in the hospital with symptoms of the Winter Vomiting Virus.
She says the hospital is under tremendous pressure and they can not afford to lose beds because of virus outbreaks.
She added they are asking people not to visit if they are ill themselves or have been recently.
