Norovirus levels are very high, the HSE is urging people to be aware of the signs and symptoms. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and watery diarrhoea.

This time of year brings an increase in seasonal illnesses such as norovirus. While these illnesses are unpleasant but mild for many, they can be very serious for older adults, young children, and people with underlying health conditions.

It’s not always possible to avoid getting norovirus but you can help stop the virus spreading. Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. Stay home from work or school for at least 48 hours after your symptoms have passed. You should avoid visiting anyone in hospital or care homes, or going out to socialise while sick, and for 48 hours afterwards.

Norovirus, a very common cause of gastroenteritis, is currently circulating at high levels in the community.

Norovirus (often called the winter vomiting bug), causes vomiting and diarrhoea and is highly infectious, easily spread by close contact between people.

🔵If you have respiratory symptoms, or vomiting or diarrhoea, do not visit hospitals, nursing homes, or vulnerable people at home.

🔵Avoid social visits to care settings while unwell.

Outbreaks of norovirus and flu in hospitals and nursing homes can cause serious disruption and increase risks for patients and staff.

Your actions make a difference.

Measles: Travelling abroad? Protect yourself with MMR vaccination

Measles cases and outbreaks have been reported in many European countries, including popular winter holiday destinations.

The HSE is concerned that measles outbreaks may occur in Ireland as families with unvaccinated children and adults travel to countries where measles cases have been reported.

The best way to protect you and your family against measles is to ensure all family members are up to date with the recommended doses of MMR vaccine before travelling abroad.

MMR vaccine is available free of charge at your GP for individuals born on or after January 1st 1978 who are not age-appropriately vaccinated.

Infants aged 6 months to under 12 months are eligible to receive an MMR vaccine, free of charge at their GP, prior to travel abroad. It is recommended that infants receive this MMR vaccine at least 14 days prior to travel
