VISITORS to Blackpool are being warned about an outbreak of a vomiting virus.
Health officials say several cases of viral gastroenteritis have been reported, some by hotel guests, on the Fylde coast.
People with symptoms are being urged to stay at home to prevent spreading the bug. The severe symptoms, including sickness and diarrhoea, usually pass within 48 hours.
People who suspect they have the virus should stay off work, take plenty of fluids and contact their doctor, or NHS Direct if they are concerned.
