By Marler Clark LLP

The Treyarnon Bay area of North Cornwall (see lower left area on map) has an outbreak of sickness and diarrhea that has now been confirmed as Norovirus.

Since late July,  about 200 people have suffered symptoms in the area.

South West Peninsula Health Protection Unit, NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall Council and the Environment Agency are working together on the outbreak which has mostly affected people staying at vacation hotels, although no single source of the infection has been established.

The outbreak has been confirmed through laboratory testing as Norovirus, a common stomach bug causing an illness which usually only lasts a day or two clearing up by itself.
