VISITOR RESTRICTIONS REMAIN in place in several hospitals around the country as they attempt to contain the latest outbreak of the winter vomiting bug.
National figures show a significant fall in the number of figures with just 29 reported cases in the last week of December compared with 67 in the third week and 130 cases the week before.
A blanket ban on visiting is still in place at Mid-Western Regional hospital in Limerick with people being advised only to attend the Emergency Department if there is a genuine emergency.
Restrictions also remain in place in Cavan General hospital on one ward with visiting to Medical 2 Ward restricted to family members.
A spokesperson for Dublin Mid-Leinster HSE said there was one suspect case of the virus in Mullingar before Christmas but none have been reported since.
While restrictions were also in place in hospitals in the south-east of the country, particularly in Wexford, all hospitals in the region are now clear of visiting restrictions.
Same problem everywhere:
IT says, we need to tie down security. Management says, yes, but nobody should “feel” it.
IT says: this takes time and manpower.
Management: No money for IT, work with it.
That’s what you have in most cases, I heard of at least.
SETU offers degrees in cyber crime, cyber security, computer forensics. They just got a massive student work placement opportunity!
Did they turn it off and back on again!
There is no reason given as to why classes had to be abandoned and replaced with online tutoring after a cyber attack?????
@Padraig O’Brien: they have no WiFi….
Why is this national news? A very region, isolated cyber attack of no real consequence. Some other Irish mainstream news websites all running with it too on a coordinated basis. My suspicion is that we are going to see a larger cyber security event shortly, perhaps around the US election and stories like this one will just have been conditioning people to think these attacks are (1) Likely to happen and (2) Devastating events. Yawn; COVID 2.0 type stuff. However, mark my words, a larger Cyber Security event will happen very soon and we will all be told we need to do something as one to protect ourselves blah blah
@Lewis Armstrong: jeeez relax will ya
