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