In a further sign that pressure on health services are easing, the Western Trust has announced patients in its hospitals will now be allowed daily visiting for one hour a day.
Visiting was suspended at Altnagelvin, the South West Acute Hospital and Omagh Hospital for much of January, before a welcome return to visitors once a week over the last seven days.
Now the Trust says patients will be allowed daily visitors, despite the ‘continued high transmission rates’ of Covid 19 in the community.
