A ward at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness is expected to remain closed to new admissions over the weekend due to a continuing outbreak of norovirus.
A number of patients on Ward 2A were still suffering the effects yesterday (FRI) of diarrhoea and vomiting.
The bug has been a problem for several days.
Anyone with those symptoms aiming to visit the hospital is advised not to.
Norovirus is highly infectious.
