Visiting restrictions in place at hospital to prevent Norovirus spread

The hospital, which treats people in West Berkshire, has asked that only essential visits be made.
A statement made on behalf of the hospital said: “We need everyone to take all possible measures to help us keep the virus from being brought into the hospital and affecting more of our patients.
“Parents whose children are patients in the children’s wards may visit but should not bring siblings with them.
"Nationally over one million people are now reported to be suffering from the virus and although we now have a very small number of wards affected, we have decided to introduce these restrictions to try as far as possible to prevent any further cases of the virus being brought into the hospital.
"We realise the restrictions will be inconvenient but hope that the public will realise the importance of taking every possible reasonable step to protect our patients."
