VISITING restrictions at Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI) have now been lifted.
The move comes as respiratory illness levels in the community have improved, say NHS bosses.
And it means there are no longer any restrictions on the patients who can be visited, nor do visitors need to call the ward in advance of visiting. In addition, there’s no longer a need to wear face coverings.
However, officials say it is still very important that anyone who is experiencing any signs of symptoms of respiratory illness does not visit patients in hospital.
A spokesperson said: “The situation is being monitored closely, and restrictions may need to be reintroduced if deemed necessary to ensure the safety of patients, staff, visitors and services.
“Thank you for your continued understanding and support.”
