Visiting restrictions are currently in place in Portlaoise Hospital.
17 patients in Portlaoise Hospital currently require isolation due to respiratory illness, as the facility continues to implement visiting restrictions.
Over 1,700 people have attended Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise in the last two weeks, with 644 people admitted over that period.
Certain exceptions can be made to visiting restrictions by contacting the ward staff in advance.
Portlaoise Hospital is resuming outpatient appointments today after they were cancelled over the last two days.
