The Launceston General Hospital has again imposed visitation restrictions to two wards due to gastroenteritis-like symptoms among patients and staff.
The Department of Health say access will be restricted to Ward 4D and the Northern Cardiac Care Unit “until further notice”.
“An outbreak management team is meeting daily to manage the situation,” the Department say.
“We encourage visitors not to attend the hospital with active gastro symptoms and for 48 hours after your symptoms have stopped unless you require hospital care.”

The department is advising people not to visit the hospital if they have active gastro symptoms or until 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped, unless they require hospital care.
Those in need of treatment for gastro are recommended to seek assistance from the Healthdirect helpline, visit an after-hours GP service, or go to the Launceston Medical Centre’s urgent care clinic operating from 2pm to 8pm daily.
