A suspected outbreak of the Winter Vomiting Bug at the Louth County Hospital has resulted in the HSE implementing visitor restrictions at the Dublin Road hospital.

Members of the public are being asked to try and curtail visiting hospital wards and to only visit if it is absolutely essential and by prior arrangement with the Nurse in Charge.

The HSE says children may not visit any ward areas and anyone with vomiting and diarrhoea symptoms should not visit the hospital.
