THE GP walk-in centre located next to Hereford's Asda superstore has been sealed off.

One patient is believed to have been isolated.

Hereford Times reader Marie Williams was in the GP Access Centre as it was closing.

Writing on our Facebook page, she said: "We were in there at the time and although my daughter has a potential life threatening condition if she is poorly they refused to give me any info on what had happened."

Public Health England has confirmed that the clinic has been shut down as an infection control measure after a patient presented with potentially contagious symptoms this afternoon.

The patient is currently being assessed for transport to hospital.

A spokesman for Primecare, which runs the GP centre, said: "As a precautionary measure and in line with standard infection control guidelines the NHS health care centre in Belmont Road, Hereford has been closed after patient with a suspected infectious disease was seen this afternoon.

"The patient has now been transported to hospital. Patients who were planning to visit the centre are being advised to contact 111."
