Management said visiting restrictions are necessary to keep patients safe, and visitors are advised to follow public health guidance.

Visiting restrictions have been put in place at hospitals in Roscommon and Kilkenny as a result of outbreaks of covid-19, flu and RSV cases.

On Thursday, management at Roscommon University Hospital asked the public to refrain from visiting the hospital if they are feeling unwell or have respiratory symptoms.
