A Ninewells hospital ward has been closed to new admissions due to several suspected cases of the winter vomiting bug.
NHS Tayside said ward 6 has been closed to new patients as a “precautionary measure” to prevent the spread of the virus.
There have been several cases of vomiting and diarrhoea thought to be caused by norovirus, more commonly known as the winter vomiting bug.
A representative for NHS Tayside said: “The ward has been closed to new patients as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the virus and all appropriate infection control measures have been put in place.
“To help us minimise the spread of these bugs, we ask people who may be feeling unwell or experiencing vomiting and diarrhoea not to visit their friends and family members who are in hospital.
“We would urge them to stay away until at least 48 hours after they are free of all symptoms.”
