A norovirus outbreak at the Commonwealth Games Athletes’ Village struck down 83 staff and was caused by a dirty toilet.
An official report released by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) found “deficiencies in cleaning” were the cause of the vomiting bug.
The report revealed a total of 83 staff, most working in security at the village, were struck down and experienced symptoms during the Glasgow Games.
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond insisted on Friday that the source of the suspected norovirus outbreak which has hit the Commonwealth Games’ Village has been traced.
There have been 32 suspected cases of the sickness and diarrhoea among workers at the Athletes’ Village in Glasgow although no athletes or team officials have been affected.
Salmond said they are confident the source of the outbreak has been identified with just five days to go before the Games start.
It has been traced to a temporary facility that was in use during construction work in the security area.
