Virus outbreak

12:22 2009-03-30

A gastrointestinal illness is making the rounds at Queens General Hospital.   And because of the outbreak among staff and patients, South Shore Health is trying to stop the spread by restricting visitation.  No one is being allowed to the Medical floor of the Liverpool hospital until further notice.  They say there might be some exceptions for immediate family of critically ill patients.   Hospital administrators say all regular outpatient services are available, they're just asking you to avoid visiting patients if you come to the hospital.
