Outbreak of virus sees closure of Northampton General Hospital ward

Outbreak of virus sees closure of Northampton General Hospital ward Six patients have been affected by an outbreak of the norovirus bug at NGH prompting the hospital to warn those who have had diarrhoea and sickness not to visit.

A spokeswoman for the hospital confirmed a minor outbreak, which is contained to Becket Ward.

To keep patients safe and prevent further spread of the virus managers have implemented "stringent infection prevention and control procedures", which include isolating the ward. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
