Fruit flies invade hospital

Fruit flies have invaded a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, forcing doctors to close down the surgery department for a day.

The press office of the Pedro Ernesto hospital tells Brazil's O Globo newspaper that the insect invasion caused the closure of 10 surgery rooms and delays in 16 surgeries.

Hospital staff told the newspaper they were trying to determine the source of the flies.
