The latest outbreak which, began at the end of March, was the hospital's third in just eight months.
When it started, bays in two surgical assessment wards and one of the trauma and orthopaedics wards were closed after patients showed symptoms.
Staff had also contracted the bug and were not allowed back to work until they were symptom-free for 48 hours. Chiefs at the Wednesfield hospital said no patients had been seriously unwell.
On Monday, the bug remained on ward A5 with one bay closed. But bosses said the area was being deep-cleaned yesterday afternoon before re-opening this morning.
