Parents caught up in an E-coli outbreak in East Lothian are being urged to stick to the rules amid concern some may be sending children back to nursery before being given the all-clear.
Hundreds of exclusions orders were issued by public health teams in the county after sickness broke out in three nurseries in Haddington and then two in Musselburgh.
And health bosses are appealing to parents to follow the rules pointing out that two of the nurseries involved have now reopened proving the "robust" action is working.
