   Hiya is this a precaution to protect the current patients or has the hospital had a suspected case?

     Hi Martin, it is to prioritise staff and services, according to Torbay and S Devon NHS Trust:

     ‘Due to prioritising our emergency services in response to the COVID-19 situation, we are experiencing difficulties in sustaining staffing levels at our Minor Injuries Units (MIU) in Dawlish and Totnes Community Hospitals. From 4pm, 19th March, we are closing Dawlish and Totnes MIUs and referring anyone with a minor injury to the MIU at Newton Abbot Community Hospital’

     Thanks, Olivia
