Strict visitor restrictions have been put in place at the region’s main hospital following a measles outbreak.
The highly contagious infection has been detected in the Limerick City area in recent weeks and a small number of infected patients are in isolation at University Hospital Limerick.
Only one visitor per patient is allowed until further notice and the visiting hours from 2 pm to 4 pm and 6 pm to 9 pm will be strictly adhered to until the outbreak is contained.
