Visiting restrictions introduced at Nenagh Hospital

COVID-19 outbreak impacting both inpatient wards at hospital

17th April 2023 ¦ VISITING RESTRICTIONS have today been introduced at Nenagh Hospital as part of the management of outbreaks of COVID-19 on both inpatient wards at the hospital.

We regret the inconvenience this will cause for inpatients at Nenagh Hospital and their loved ones, but the restrictions are necessary to protect the safety of patients and staff and to keep essential healthcare services open for all patients.

Exceptions to the restrictions will be made on compassionate grounds for patients who are critically ill or at end-of-life, and for people assisting confused patients (e.g., patients with dementia). These exemptions are on a case-by-case basis

We wish to reassure patients and their loved ones that all appropriate infection control precautions are being followed to minimise the risk of spreading COVID-19 infection among staff and patients within our health facilities, and also within the wider community.
