Areas of Cornwall hospitals shut due to Covid outbreaks
Visiting to those areas is now limited to exceptional circumstances only
Last updated 22nd Sep 2022
Covid outbreaks over the last week have forced the Royal Cornwall Hospitals' Trust to close some areas.
Bosses at the trust which runs Treliske, the West Cornwall and St Michael's in Hayle believe those are linked to two visitors.
It means visiting to affected areas is now limited to where exceptional circumstances apply and the Nurse in Charge has approved it.
In a statement, the RCHT said: "We have seen some areas of the Trust closed this week due to COVID-19. Visiting to these areas will be restricted to those where exceptional circumstances apply and the Nurse in Charge has approved it. This is in-line with our visiting policy for outbreaks and closed areas.
"As a reminder to anyone visiting the hospital, if you have a cold, cough, upset stomach or any other infectious condition we ask you not to do so because of the risk of infecting others. We have linked two visitors to our current outbreaks.
"Our visiting arrangements are specific to different areas but all need to be booked in advance".
More information on visiting patients in hospital can be found on the RCHT's website.
