Norovirus, which is also known as the winter vomiting bug, normally clears up after a few days but it can spread easily in environments such as at GPs and at Hospitals.

Symptoms of norovirus include: suddenly feeling sick, projectile vomiting, watery diarrhoea and some people may also have a slight fever, headaches, painful stomach cramps and aching limbs.

Visiting is closed on the Charlcote ward but if people need to visit on compassionate grounds they should call the ward beforehand to arrange the visit.
