THE UNIVERSITY of Limerick Hospitals Group (ULHG) has put in place visiting restrictions after a Covid-19 outbreak at one of its facilities.
Health bosses have announced measures have been put in place to stop the spread of the disease at Ennis Hospital's inpatient wards.
In a statement, ULHG said it regrets the inconvenience this causes "but the restrictions are necessary to protect the safety of patients and staff, and to keep essential healthcare services open for all patients."
Exceptions to visiting restrictions can be made on compassionate grounds for patients who are critically ill or at end-of-life, and for people assisting confused patients, for example those with dementia.
These exemptions are on a case-by-case basis.
No other services at the hospital have been impacted by this decision.
"We wish to reassure patients and their loved ones that all appropriate infection control precautions are being followed to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19 infection among staff and patients within our health facilities, and also within the wider community," the hospitals group concluded.
