🚑 **Norovirus Alert in Welsh Hospitals!**
Attention everyone in Wales! Our hospitals are facing severe challenges at the moment. Health boards have raised the alarm due to an overwhelming demand in A&E departments, combined with outbreaks of the nasty norovirus bug. What’s happening? 🤢
🔺 **Swansea Bay Health Update:** The health officials have declared the highest alert due to immense pressure on services at Morriston and Singleton hospitals. They’re working hard to discharge patients who no longer need acute care. If you can, please help your loved ones get home safely once they’re ready.
🔺 **Norovirus in Full Swing:** Multiple hospitals, including those in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg and Aneurin Bevan health boards, are battling norovirus outbreaks. If you’ve been sick recently, especially with diarrhoea or vomiting, please avoid visiting healthcare facilities until you’ve been symptom-free for 48 hours.
🚨 **Ward Closures:** Norovirus cases led to ward closures at Morriston Hospital, with the situation being reviewed every 72 hours.
📢 **What You Can Do:** A&Es are experiencing massive waits and have limited beds. Only go to A&E in genuine emergencies. For advice, check the NHS 111 website. Let’s keep the pressure off our hospitals, support our community, and help our brave staff manage this crisis. Your cooperation makes a difference!
Stay safe, and let’s work together to beat this bug! 🌟
