Media personnel and visitors have been banned from entering the Angau Memorial Hospital from taking pictures in and around the hospital grounds after the Buimo jail breakout last Thursday.
This is because of the escapees that were gunned down by police and CS officers and are still recovering in the hospital.
Angau Memorial Hospital CEO Dr Christopher Kenyhercz issued the ban following talks with police hierarchy and the Correctional Service Commander of Buimo Jail.
The Lae public is advised that only genuine patients with clinic books and immediate family of very ill patients will be allowed in during normal visiting hours.
Families and relatives of the deceased inmates were also advised to wait for clearance from the CS and Police before they can identify and claim the bodies in the morgue.
