Be the first to Comment 1 Recommendation(s) NANAIMO (NEWS1130) - Nanaimo Regional Hospital could be back to normal operations as soon as today. For the last week the hospital has been dealing with an outbreak of Norovirus.
Four patients were confirmed to be infected with C. difficile, a bacterium that causes intestinal trouble.
The outbreak led to restrictions on visiting and aggressive cleaning, especially on the fourth floor of the hospital, the possible source of the virus.
The last outbreak of Norovirus at the hospital was last summer when 49 patients became infected.
