Scabies outbreak forces hospital to close wards
Original: Scabies outbreak at hospital closes wards
A scabies outbreak has forced a hospital to close wards to new admissions, with the BBC and Yahoo News both reporting the story. The parasitic skin infestation spreads easily through close contact and shared bedding, prompting infection control measures. Details on the hospital's location, the number of patients affected, and when wards may reopen have not yet been given in the reports.
Why now: An infectious disease outbreak disrupting hospital services is a public health concern people are following closely.
