Winter sickness bug wards reopen

Three wards out of the five which were closed to new admissions at a hospital last week, after an outbreak of the winter sickness bug, have reopened.

The Norovirus bug causing vomiting and diarrhoea affected Hinchingbrooke Hospital at Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

Two wards will remain closed to new patients until two days after the last symptoms are seen, a spokesman said.

Twenty-five cases are being treated and the hospital advises concerned people to contact their own GP or NHS Direct.
