Noble's Hospital suspends visiting on Ward 6
Visiting remains suspended at Ward 6 at Noble’s Hospital following a norovirus outbreak.
Manx Care says there’s been a ‘significant increase’ in cases.
Ward 6 is a medical and elderly ward.
Relatives of patients who are on the ward have been advised of the change and the ward is not accepting new admissions.
Dr Ross Keat is the Deputy Director of Public Health Isle of Man:
Carers: 'They are often the quiet heroes of our Island'
Hooper: 'Time to bite the bullet and build new hospital'
'No final decisions' made yet about relocating dementia patients says Manx Care
'We want to provide a facility for almost anybody'
