Lime Tree Surgery, in Findon Valley, has informed patients it has 'taken the decision to close' as it attempts to 'support government efforts' to reduce the spread of the virus.
On its website, the surgery, which also has a centre in Durrington, said it will be 'operating on a telephone triage system only', adding: "We regret that we have had to take these precautions but it is for the safety of your fellow patients and the staff."
