Winter Vomiting ‘bug’ (Norovirus) We are beginning to experience the seasonal increase in outbreaks of diarrhoea and vomiting caused by the Winter Vomiting ‘bug’ (Norovirus). Please help us prevent more illness by washing your hands frequently using warm water and a liquid soap, especially after using the toilet and before eating or preparing foods. When you have washed your hands dry them thoroughly. If anyone is unfortunate enough to contract the virus please ensure a clear 48 hours has passed since the last episode of sickness or diarrhoea before returning to school.
