Visits resume after bug outbreak

Visiting restrictions are to be lifted at a Norfolk hospital hit by an outbreak of Norovirus.

The restrictions were put in place at two wards at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital after a number of people contracted the bug.

It causes nausea and diarrhoea and is easily spread.

Visiting to Knapton and Holt wards was limited over the last week but visits will be allowed as normal from Monday evening, the hospital said.

Dr Judith Richards, the trust's director of infection prevention and control, said that although the restrictions had been lifted, anyone who has had the virus in recent days or been in contact with someone who has had it should avoid visiting the hospital.
