AN outbreak of diarrhoea and sickness is still causing some disruption at the Alexandra Hospital, in Redditch. People are being strongly discouraged from visiting ward areas in the interests of patient and staff safety. Wards across the county have been affected by a diarrhoea and sickness outbreak and in some cases Norovirus, a particularly infectious form of it, has been identified.There were five wards affected at the Alexandra Hospital and it was hoped to reopen one ward yesterday (Tuesday).
