We’re starting to see a decline in the number of winter illnesses, such as flu, COVID-19, and RSV, across our hospitals.
Last week we decided to discontinue mask-wearing in non-clinical areas. We are now able to relax the requirement for masks in most clinical areas, although this will be kept under review. Masks are still required in the following clinical areas:
- Ward 7, PRH
- Ward 9, PRH
- Ward 10, PRH
Please follow all guidance on our wards and departments, including a maximum of two visitors per patient at any time. Please continue to wash your hands to maintain good hand hygiene. If you have any questions, please speak to a member of staff.
We would also like to remind visitors that for the safety of their loved ones, our patients and our staff, please do not visit if you are feeling unwell. If you have a cough, cold or flu like symptoms, please do not visit. If you have had diarrhoea or vomiting in the last 48 hours, please do not visit.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
