From today there will be no visiting allowed to St Bridget’s Ward, St Teresa’s Ward and St Coman’s Ward. However, exceptions will be made on compassionate grounds and these visits should be arranged in advance with the nurse manager on the ward. The visiting restrictions will be reviewed next week.
