Visiting has been suspended on Ward 6, at Furness General Hospital (FGH) due to a norovirus outbreak affecting patients and staff.
To keep everyone safe, the suspension of visiting will remain in place until later in the week when senior colleagues will review the situation.
Access for colleagues to Ward 6 is also being limited and only essential staff will have access to the ward.
End of Life visiting and Care in Partnership, incorporating John’s Campaign, will still be supported.
Relatives and carers of patients on Ward 6 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 Switchboard.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support at this time.
