Sligo University Hospital has reiterated its plea to people with flu-like symptoms not to visit the hospital.
The hospital is currently dealing with a Norovirus outbreak impacting a number of wards.
Visiting restrictions are in place on outbreak wards only on compassionate grounds only and with prior arrangements with Ward manager, in advance.
Visitors are requested to cooperate with hospital staff who are ensuring the restrictions are adhered to and visitors are also advised that they must use the alcohol hand gels supplied as they enter and leave the hospital.
Infection control procedures are in place on the wards and will remain until further notice.
Anyone with symptoms of diarrhoea and/or vomiting is being asked not to visit the hospital to help keep vulnerable patients safe.
These measures are vital to avoid spreading the virus to patients, visitors and staff and the hospital would like to thank the public for their co-operation at this time.
