Health chiefs have warned members of the public not to visit Paisley's Royal Alexandra Hospital if they are displaying symptoms of Covid-19 or norovirus this winter.
A number of wards have been closed to new patients as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the viruses – subsequently increasing the workload on already stretched staff.
According to the Public Health Scotland Covid-19 dashboard, there were 92 recorded cases in Renfrewshire in the latest reporting period (November 21 to November 27).
