🚨 **Urgent Health Notice: Stay Home Alert for Wales!** 🚨
Attention, folks! Welsh hospitals are under dire pressure due to a rapid surge in norovirus cases. Health officials across Wales are urging everyone to stay home for the next 48 hours to help curb the spread of this highly contagious bug.
Multiple hospitals have declared critical incidents as A&E departments are swamped and wards are full. This winter vomiting bug, common during the chilly months, spreads easily, causing symptoms like nausea, projectile vomiting, diarrhea, high temperatures, headaches, and aches.
Here’s what you can do to help:
🔹 **Stay Home** if you’ve had symptoms in the last 48 hours.
🔹 **Wash Hands** regularly with soap and warm water—alcohol gels don’t work on this virus!
🔹 **Avoid Preparing Food** for others to prevent spreading the bug.
Swansea Bay University Health Board has temporarily closed some wards at Morriston Hospital to visitors. Other regions like Cwm Taf Morgannwg and Aneurin Bevan University Health Boards are also heavily affected. The Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend is particularly impacted.
Stay hydrated and rest if you’re experiencing symptoms—they usually clear up in a couple of days. Remember, you might still be contagious for up to 72 hours after symptoms disappear, so take care and act responsibly to protect others.
Let’s pull together to keep everyone safe! 🌟 Spread the word (not the virus).
Stay informed and look after one another! 💪❤️ #StaySafe #NorovirusAlert #WelshHealthCrisis
