Norovirus – visiting restrictions at Cambridge University Hospital

Some areas of CUH Addenbrooke’s hospital have been closed to the public because of the vomiting bug, Norovirus. Wards D9, 1 bay on MSU and 2 bays on D5 have been shut.

To protect patients and visitors from the spread of this bug, visiting restrictions are currently in place:

  • Visiting times on all adult wards are restricted to between 3pm to 5pm and from 7pm to 8pm (Monday-Sunday)
  • A maximum of two adult visitors per patient are allowed on the wards at any one time
  • If a bay/ward is closed due to Norovirus visitors are not allowed in
  • Don't come to hospital if you've been sick or had diarrhoea in the last 48 hours

 Protect yourself from this bug:

  • wash your hands regularly with soap and water (alcohol gel won’t protect you against sickness and diarrhoea)
  • if you have sickness and diarrhoea please stay at home – don’t come to hospital
  • if necessary seek medical help by telephoning your GP or dial 111
