A ward at Ninewells Hospital has been closed after a small flu outbreak.
The hospital’s ward 4 has been closed as a precautionary measure to stop the infection spreading.
Hospital staff say patients in the ward are being monitored and appropriate infection control measures are in place.
Visitors are asked to avoid visiting if possible, but if they do feel the need to attend they will be offered face masks, gloves and apron and asked to wash or gel their hands.
Friends and family members who have coughs and colds which could be related to flu are asked not to visit patients for the time being.
Dr Gabby Phillips, Lead Infection Control Doctor, confirmed: “Ward 4 remains closed and we are closely monitoring the situation.
“Staff are adopting enhanced infection control precautions.”
