Norovirus Update, 11 March 2024
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)
