Jersey Hospital returned to green status

Jersey Hospital has returned to a green status after being on amber alert for the past two days.

A busy winter period had forced the hospital to cancel five appointments because of a lack of beds.

As the hospital has not needed to cancel any more appointments it has returned to a green status.

The hospital continues to ‘urge’ islanders to only visit the Emergency Department if they have a genuine medical emergency.

People in Jersey are also being told not to visit the hospital if they have any noro-virus symptoms such as diarrhea or vomiting.
