The HSE is restricting visits to Midlands Regional Hospital Tullamore.
Visiting restrictions are being brought in for a Midlands hospital due to the high level of respiratory viral illness cases and winter vomiting bug cases in the community.
Visiting is restricted on all wards with immediate effect - compassionate and critical visits in exceptional circumstances only will be accommodated by contacting the Clinical Nurse Manager or Nurse in Charge of the relevant ward.
Louisea Burke, General Manager of Midland Regional Hospital Tullamore, said “We have implemented significant visiting restrictions in all areas to help keep our patients and staff safe from respiratory viral illnesses, such as Influenza, Covid, RSV and Norovirus (Winter Vomiting bug) which are all currently circulating in the community. We kindly remind the public to only visit the hospital if you are symptom-free from flu or other respiratory illnesses. Please refer to the HSE website for specific information and regular updates.”
The hospital is also asking anyone considering attending for treatment to consider their local Pharmacy, GP, GP out of hours service, or a local injury unit as an alternative.
