An outbreak of norovirus, commonly known as the winter vomiting bug, has been reported at two hospitals in West Yorkshire, leading to visitor restrictions. The affected hospitals are Dewsbury and District Hospital and parts of Pinderfields Hospital in West Yorkshire, UK.The outbreak has led to an immediate ban on visitors at both hospitals. However, exceptions are being made for individuals visiting patients receiving end of life care. The restrictions are part of measures to control the spread of the highly contagious virus, which typically causes vomiting and diarrhea. The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, which oversees the affected hospitals, confirmed the restrictions and urged the public to avoid visiting the hospitals unless it's an emergency.
