Staff have returned to the General Wing at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital after it was evacuated for an hour yesterday afternoon.
Inpatients did not have to leave the building.
A Bermuda Hospitals Board spokeswoman said there had been a thorough check of the building after reports of a smell of smoke.
A spokesman for the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service said firefighters attended the scene and were investigating.
According to BHB, the all-clear was given at 3.10pm after firefighters and building staff “did not find anything of concern”.
