A nursery has been forced to close by the NHS with staff and pupils asked to isolate at home amid a worrying outbreak of E.coli.
The bacterial infection, which is highly infectious, can cause a grim range of symptoms including bloody diarrhoea and fevers. A small number of people can go on to develop serious kidney problems.
The closure of Cherrytrees nursery, Hawick, in the Borders region of Scotland, was formally announced by the regional NHS body.
