Hospital suffers new virus outbreak
It is the third outbreak at the hospital in recent months
A Dorset hospital has suffered another outbreak of the winter vomiting virus.
Bournemouth hospital said 79 patients and 34 staff have contracted the virus. The Norwalk-type bug causes severe stomach upsets and is highly contagious but is not life-threatening. Friends and family of patients in the hospital are once again being asked to keep their visits to a minimum. The hospital also suffered outbreaks in September and October. Accident and emergency remains open but the hospital is advising people to go to their GP instead if possible.
