Stomach bug sweeping the country

[Taf]

People struck down by a stomach bug sweeping the country have been urged not to go back to work.

Doctors estimate more than 100,000 people a week are catching norovirus, which causes diarrhoea and vomiting.

Workers need to remain at home for 48 hours after the symptoms have gone and stay away from surgeries and hospitals, the Royal College of GPs warned.

The Health Protection Agency confirmed the number of cases this year is the highest since 2002.

At least it's not the pneumonia epidemic that's sweeping this area.  The local hospital is close to full with such patients here... which doesn't really bode well for my mother, who is in with a case of pancreatitis.
