Re: Visiting restricted at Rotunda hospital over swine flu

AN outbreak of swine flu amongst pregnant women and new mothers at one of the country's largest maternity hospitals led to a restriction on visitors last night.

The Rotunda Hospital in Dublin last night confirmed that a small number of women -- totalling less than 10 -- have tested positive for the the potentially fatal H1N1 virus within the past five days. No babies have been affected.

However, due to the potentially serious implications for pregnant women, new mothers, newborns and children, the hospital has ordered a ban on all children visiting the hospital.

Visitors are strictly limited to just one person for expectant and new mothers, parents of infants in the neonatal unit and gynaecology inpatients. Some of the infected patients have already been discharged.

"All of the infected women are being carefully monitored and are either recovering well or have already recovered," the hospital said in a statement last night.
