For those of you with young children, especially under two years of age, take extra care in washing hands before meals and ensure proper hygiene when using the loo.
This virus can also be contracted by anyone but due to its favoured hand to mouth route it is more common in children.

This virus can cause several SEVERE reactions including strains of polio and meningitis snd is prevalent here every few years.
