Parents and schools in and around Regina are being warned about gastrointestinal illness.
A public health notice was sent out by the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region on Friday. It stated the illness is circulating in the community, and some schools in and around Regina have noticed more staff and students with the illness.
Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headaches and fever.
Gastrointestinal illness is highly contagious, and can be passed on by sharing contaminated food, and by touching the same objects.
The health region offered ways to stop the spread of the illness: ensuring hands are washed well, increasing cleaning of common areas in schools, and by sick students and staff staying home while sick and for at least 48 hours after symptoms abate.
The notice was sent out to parents of at least some students in the Regina Public School Division, and was posted on the Prairie Valley School Division’s website.
