The accident and emergency department at Caldas da Rainha hospital treated more than 60 people last week with various symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea and, in some cases, nausea, fever, abdominal pain and headaches, leading to the identification of a norovirus outbreak.
According to the local newspaper Jornal das Caldas (source in Portuguese), the municipal council has since confirmed 122 people infected, after receiving a report with the results of laboratory tests.
