NOROVIRUS SEASON

PTFA Christmas Fair

We are writing to highlight that we are beginning to

experience the seasonal increase in outbreaks of diarrhoea
and vomiting which may be caused by norovirus (norovirus
season). In recent years we have seen an increasing number
of norovirus outbreaks and these cause considerable
difficulties throughout the community. We are therefore
writing to ask for your assistance and to remind you of the
importance of being vigilant for diarrhoea and vomiting (D&V)
episodes/outbreaks.
We need your help with preventing and controlling
outbreaks in schools.
Children or staff with D&V should not return to school until
they have been symptom free for 48 hours.
