November 29 Covid Update: Inpatients 2 (IP2) Closure  

We have made the decision to temporarily close our In Patients 2 Ward as a result of a Covid cluster. At present, no patients are giving us any sign of concern.

Additional control measures are in place in line with the current Covid guidelines. Visiting will be restricted and discussions are ongoing with visitors of patients who will be affected.

We continue to ask anyone visiting The Balfour, for any reason, to please use a facemask as provided at all entrances for the duration of your visit. As well as the hand sanitiser provided across the hospital. 

As we continue through the winter months, respiratory illnesses will increase. Please continue to be mindful of visiting friends, family and places of work if you are unwell. Regular hand washing and hand sanitising is crucial, if you sneeze or cough, please wash your hands afterwards and dispose of any tissues properly in a nearby bin.
