Visitor restriction at QA Hospital have now been fully lifted as cases of norovirus ease.
Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) have announced that visitor restrictions have lifted at Queen Alexandra Hospital on Wednesday, May 7. Strict measures had been announced in April with adult inpatients restricted to one person for one hour a day which needed to be booked in advance.
These restrictions were loosened for most wards on April 25 and have now been fully lifted with visitation returning to normal.
A post on PHU’s social media page announced the news and thanked the community for its support. The post said: “ We are pleased to share that visiting is now back to normal across all of our adult inpatient wards and hospital services. To help keep everyone safe, please do not visit the hospital if you have experienced diarrhoea or vomiting in the last 48 hours.
“A big thank you to our staff and community for all your support.”
