Vomiting bug hits fourth hospital

THE rampant winter vomiting bug has affected a fourth Cork hospital.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) Southern Area has introduced strict visiting restrictions at Bantry General Hospital, where one adult ward is affected, in an effort to contain the virus.

Visiting restrictions are still in place at Cork University Hospital (CUH), St Raphael’s Centre in Youghal, and at two wards in St Finbarr’s Hospital.
