Norovirus outbreak forces ‘closure’ of two wards at UK hospital

Both wards are to be closed to the general public “until further notice”.A UK hospital has shut two of its wards to new patients amid fears of an extremely contagious vomiting bug. The Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway, Scotland, is reportedly “managing” several cases of norovirus, a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.
