Most Covid-19 restrictions at the maternity ward in Noble's hospital have been lifted.
The health and social care minister made the announcement at this afternoon's government media conference.
Several measures were taken at the Jane Crookall ward, including limiting visitor access, and restricting the time birthing partners were allowed to spend on site.
