Two wards at Redcliffe Hospital have closed following a norovirus gastro outbreak.
The hospital admitted to treating a number of patients with gastro and are encouraging all visitors to make an extra effort to wash their hands upon arrival and departure.
Redcliffe Hospital’s medical director Dr Catherine Yelland says gastro virus cases tend to spike at this time of year, but symptoms subside within a few days.
Due to contamination, the closed wards include Level 5 east and the Rehabilitation unit.
