Hospital management is urging anyone with symptoms such as diarrhoea or vomiting to avoid attending the hospital.
Anyone who has come in contact with someone with those symptoms are urged to clean their hands with alcohol gel or hot water and soap.
Visitors are also asked no to use patient toilets or en suites, and use the public toilets on the ground floor of the hospital.
