ALERT: Covid-19 outbreak leads to visiting restrictions at Roscommon University Hospital
Roscommon University Hospital is advising that due to an outbreak of Covid-19, access for visitors to the hospital is currently limited to normal visiting times only.
Hospital visiting times will continue between 2pm to 4pm and 6.30pm and 8.30pm but visitors are being asked to adhere to the limit of two visitors per patient.
The hospital says visiting outside of the normal visiting hours can be arranged on compassionate grounds by contacting the relevant ward.
With the Easter weekend approaching, visitors to the hospital are requested to comply with the visiting arrangements and co-operate with hospital staff who are ensuring the arrangements are adhered to.
Given the need to control the spread of infection, the hospital is appealing to the public not to visit the hospital if they have any symptoms of Covid, flu or any viral illness. Masks will be available for all visitors at the entrance of the hospital and visitors are asked to practice good hand hygiene and to use the available hand gel regularly.
Roscommon University Hospital would like to thank members of the public for their co-operation at this time.
