Two Scots nurseries have been closed following an outbreak of E Coli which has left a number of children in hospital.
Church Road Pear Tree Nursery in Haddington, East Lothian, has been shut while health authorities carry out an investigation. In total 28 cases have been identified - with most said to be mild. However, some are in hospital in a stable condition.
Another nursery in the town, Meadowpark Pear Tree, has also been closed as a precaution after people connected with it reported symptoms. NHS Lothian says a specific source has not yet been identified but advanced microbiological testing is under way to identify the strain of the infection and any links.
