Visiting UL Hospitals during flu season

There is currently a high incidence of flu in the mid west region.

To ensure that we are able to protect vulnerable patients, UL Hospitals Group are asking people who are considering visiting a friend or relative to ensure they do not visit if they have flu like symptoms. This is to ensure that we protect vulnerable patients from contracting the flu virus. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

The hospitals always apply strict infection control practices and in particular during peak periods of community acquired flu. If you intend on visiting, please help us by complying with infection control procedures, especially hand hygiene, while visiting the hospital.

UL Hospitals Group has introduced a temporary restriction of one visitor per patient during the flu season and visitors are reminded that children under 14 are not allowed to visit.
