Strict visitor restrictions have been put in place at Ennis General and all other hospitals in the Mid West in a bid to prevent the spread of Swine Flu
The HSE is asking that children under 14 years of age do not visit the County hospital and that all other only come if it’s absolutely necessary.
Visitors are asked to please respect these restricted visiting times and the Hospital security staff that are ensuring the restrictions are adhered to.
They are also advised that they must use the alcohol gel supplied as they enter and leave the hospital.
A Spokesperson for the HSE also appealed to people to refrain from visiting the hospital or any healthcare facility especially if they have any signs or symptoms of the Flu.
Meanwhile the types of people eligible to get the Swine Flu vaccination are expected to be expanded further this week.
