Public health bosses are issuing their annual warning to those unfortunate enough to contract the Winter Vomiting Virus.
A number of cases of Norovirus have been reported so far this year, and Director of Public Health Dr Parameswaran Kishore says it's imperative people don't spread the disease by going to hospital with it.
He says if you have it, stay at home for at least 48 hours, so there is no risk of passing on the highly-contagious disease to others.
Dr Kishore adds that, in such circumstances, it is even more important to stay away from hospitals, GP surgeries and pharmacies:
