23.01.2022 Chief Health Officer Advice: Viral gastro outbreak There has been an increase in viral gastroenteritis in childcare centres - here is what you need to know to p...rotect about protecting yourself and your family. Symptoms can take up to three days to develop and usually last one or two days, sometimes longer. Watch out for: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhoea Fever Abdominal pain Headache Muscle aches Kids with any of these symptoms should stay home while sick and for 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped. If symptoms persist - visit your GP. Gastro is highly infectious, so hygiene is particularly important. Remember: Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to prevent infection - alcohol hand sanitisers, while effective against some viruses such as coronavirus, are not effective against gastroenteritis. If someone in your household is sick, thoroughly clean and sterilise the areas where they have been sick to protect the other people in your house. Find out more about protecting your household from gastroenteritis: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au//conditionsand/gastroenteritis
