THE NHS is urging people who have had vomiting or diarrhoea to stay away from North-East hospitals and care homes until they have been free of symptoms for 48 hours
The advice should help limit the spread of norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug.
Hospitals and care homes are seeing patients and residents developing vomiting and diarrhoea after the infection has been introduced by visitors.
People who have had norovirus are still infectious up to 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped so people are advised not to visit hospitals or care homes while you have these symptoms and for two days afterwards.
