CITY hospitals are at crisis point as a contagious vomiting bug sweeps through the community.
Health bosses have issued a black alert for Southampton hospitals because there are NO empty beds available across the trust, the Daily Echo can reveal.
It follows a major norovirus outbreak at Southampton General Hospital which was already full to capacity following a surge in admissions.
Seven wards are shut today with bays closed in four others as the hospital struggles to contain the bug.
The trust that runs the hospital has confirmed that some operations are also being cancelled because of the lack of bed space means they cannot be carried out safely.

Hopefully none of that for me this year, last year was horrendous
