As a result, significant delays are expected along with limited bed capacity at present.
The hospital has also asked the general public to explore "any alternatives" to an Emergency Department referral in the hope of alleviating further pressures and demand on the service.
The hospital added that it "appreciates" the cooperation of the public at this time.
