Visiting has been suspended on Ward 35 at Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI) due to a norovirus outbreak affecting patients and staff.
To keep everyone safe, the suspension of visiting will remain in place until a review next week by senior colleagues.
We wish to reassure everyone that all steps are being taken to contain the virus and stop it spreading.
Relatives and carers of patients on Ward 35 are being contacted by the team to let them know about the suspension of visiting. A further update will be shared on our communications channels when possible.
Any calls are to go through the RLI Switchboard on: 01524 65944.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support at this time.
