Norovirus – Update

Cases of sickness and diarrhoea (norovirus) are rising and impacting local hospitals.

• If you or your family have symptoms, please do not visit a healthcare setting
• Get better at home with simple self-care
• Stay off school or work until you have not been sick or had diarrhoea for at least 2 days. This is when you are most infectious 

Self-care tips:

• stay at home and get plenty of rest
• drink lots of fluids
• take paracetamol if you’re in discomfort
• wash your hands with soap and water often (hand gel is not effective against norovirus)
