The number of cases of diarrhoea and vomiting in the community has been increasing over the last few weeks. This has led to a number of schools, mainly in the Clackmannanshire area, being affected with large numbers of children with symptoms. However this has not been confined to children, and adults have also been affected. These cases are most likely due to Norovirus.

While Norovirus does not usually cause serious illness it can be more severe and lead to hospitalisation in people who are immunocompromised. If you or your child have symptoms please follow the advice below.
