Victoria Hospital spokesman

Only five new cases of the condition, which causes vomiting and diarrhoea, have been reported since Tuesday.

A spokesman for the South Glasgow University Hospitals NHS Trust said: "The outbreak control team thank all staff members for their contribution and help over what has been a difficult time for the hospital."

More than 200 operations have been cancelled at the Victoria and the city's Southern General, which has been taking patients diverted from the hospital.

Planned operations at the Southern General are also scheduled to resume on Monday.

Patients and staff

The airborne bug, which spreads easily from person to person, has affected a total of 16 hospitals across Scotland - and has struck in a number of areas across the UK during the winter.

The virus cannot be treated, but usually lasts for less than two days.

Dumfries Infirmary is the latest hospital to be struck by the bug, which has affected 44 patients and staff in three wards.

Five operations have been postponed at the largest hospital in the Dumfries and Galloway region.
