Norovirus outbreak at Glasgow Hilton Hotel
JULY 2010
Norovirus was confirmed at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel during July, 2010, after 83 people were taken ill, including 63 guests and 20 staff members.
Dr. Anne Scoular, NHS GGC Public Health Consultant and chair of the outbreak control team stated: "Laboratory tests have now confirmed that this is a Norovirus outbreak."We will continue to monitor the situation very closely but are seeing the number of cases decrease rapidly which is the norm with an outbreak of this type."Our advice to guests and staff in the hotel is to continue to follow strict hygiene rules including regular hand washing."
Norovirus causes gastroenteritis, and symptoms can be passed on quickly, especially in hotels or on board cruise ships, where are large number of people are in a relatively confined space. Symptoms come on quickly, and often include diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach cramps and sometimes, fever.
