Visiting restrictions remain in place at UHG

The hospital is urging members of the public not to bring children to the facility and to strictly adhere to visiting restrictions and hygiene guidelines.

General Manager at GUH Ann Cosgrove told Galway Bay fm news that the hospital is under tremendous pressure and cannot afford to lose beds due to virus outbreaks.

She adds that there is a lot of unnecessary traffic through the hospital and members of the public are urged not to visit if they are ill themselves or have been ill recently.

The HSE West says all appropriate infection control measures are being taken to deal with the situation.
