News has been reaching Nofear HQ that some wards at the county's premiere hospital are now closed to the public - putting the patients there effectively in quarantine.
Details are sketchy at present, but it appears that various infections are rife within these wards and the trust is taking steps to contain the spread. This is further confirmation of the poor level of hygene in our hospitals as also inferred here :

however the problem is acknowledged:

I'm afraid my questioning of my inside contact led to nothing. He claims to know nothing about any ward closure, but then again, you would expect to hear that from an NHS employee!
