A stubborn respiratory illness has forced Lake of the Woods District Hospital to close the facility to all visitors.

Leslie Brown is the head of patient care and says they decided to impose the visitor ban Tuesday afternoon because the illness seems to be spreading.

Birchwood Terrace Nursing Home has also closed its doors to visitors due to the respiratory illness.

Brown says they don't known when they might be able to lift the visitor ban.
