AN OUTBREAK of the dangerous stomach bug E.Coli has sparked a health alert and prompted a children’s nursery in Basingstoke to temporarily close its doors.
Kiddi Caru, in Broadmere Road, Beggarwood, suspended its child care last Thursday night.
The Health Protection Agency said two children have contracted the illness and a third is suspected of having it, but all three children are recovering. None of them is in hospital.
Two people have contracted a potentially deadly strain of E.coli and are being treated in hospital.
Five cases of the infection are being investigated but only two people have the O157 strain, said NHS Orkney.
The cases are not linked, according to the health board.
