Rising number of Covid cases and admissions to hospital mean restrictions will remain in place at Omagh Hospital, Altnagelvin and SWAH for a further week.
On Friday, the Western Heath and Social Care Trust said, “continued pressures with the significant increase in Covid-19 transmission in the North West community area, and the resulting sharp rise in admissions of Covid-19 patients in our hospitals, the Western Trust’s most recent ‘1-1-1’ visiting restrictions will continue to remain in place at Altnagelvin and Waterside Hospitals until at least Friday 6 August 2021, with amended guidelines applying to other Western Trust sites.”
They said visiting arrangements at both Altnagelvin and Waterside Hospitals will continue on the basis of one visitor, for a maximum time of one hour, once in the week permitted for the next six days.
