A VIRUS that shut down computer systems at the Royal Melbourne Hospital is still not under control.
MELBOURNE Health, which manages the hospital, is still working to control a virus that has affected hospital computer systems and personal computers since Monday.
The hospital says the virus has been disruptive and staff have been working hard to minimise delays for patients, with elective surgeries and outpatient appointments continuing as normal. “Patient safety has always been our highest priority and has been maintained,” the hospital said in a statement. “We are working to fix this issue as quickly as possible. As soon as the virus has been removed, we will investigate how it came to infect Melbourne Health.”
