Cases of coronavirus continue to rise across Suffolk, according to the latest Government data.
As of March 18, there were 8956 cases of the virus in the county - on March 11 there were 5713.
Ipswich and the surrounding area is the county's hotbed, with six out of the nine neighbourhoods with the highest case rates in that area.
The East Suffolk and North Essex Foundation Trust, which runs Ipswich Hospital, temporarily suspended ward visiting in all its hospitals from Wednesday due to rising Covid-19 cases in the community and increasing numbers of patients with the virus.
Nick Hulme, the trust's chief executive, said it was not a decision taken lightly.
