A WARD has reopened at Glasgow's new hospital after three patients became unwell with suspected norovirus.
The ward at the South Glasgow University Hospital stopped admitting new patients on Tuesday.
The health board said none of the patients were giving cause for concern and the appropriate infection control precautions were in place.
A spokesman for NHSGGC said: "A ward at the South Glasgow University Hospital has reopened today after three patients experienced diarrhoea and vomiting.
"None of the three patients gave any cause for concern as a result of the diarrhoea and vomiting.
"The ward stopped admitting new patients on Tuesday, 16th June 2015.
"All the appropriate infection control measures were in place in line with standard infection control precautions."
Earlier this week it emerged that government trouble-shooters are being sent to the hospital to help improve accident and emergency (A&E) waiting times.
Latest figures showed the £842m South Glasgow University Hospital was the worst-performing in Scotland for patient waiting times.
Just 78.3% were seen and treated within four hours, well below the 95% target.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said experts would be sent to the hospital to improve management systems.
The government said the aim was to "ensure the smooth transfer of patients through the emergency department".
