Deep clean on Hull Royal Infirmary norovirus Ward 12

A deep clean is being carried out at a Hull Royal Infirmary hospital ward after an outbreak of the winter vomiting bug norovirus.

Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust said it hoped that Ward 12 would re-open in the next couple of days.

Part of Ward 7 has also been closed following the outbreak, with the loss of four beds.

Patients are being asked to stay away from the hospital and use alternatives for non-urgent problems.
