A blanket ban on visitors is in place at the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Limerick, in a bid to stop the spread of the winter vomiting bug.

Visiting to all wards at the hospital is prohibited, with the exception of those visiting critically ill patients.

The hospital is also asking the public to visit their GP and to only attend the Emergency Department if absolutely necessary.
