As promised, we are writing to update you all on the recent D&V virus here at the park. We are still waiting for the results to confirm what we and public health experts’ suspect is a person to person noro-type virus, and we expect to receive the results within the next couple of days. We will inform you all as soon as we know. Additionally, we are still working closely with Public Health England (PHE) and South Hams District Council to ensure that appropriate precautions and procedures are in place to prevent further cases. South Hams District Council’s Head of Environmental Health, Ian Bollans, said: “At this point, with the immediate measures being undertaken by staff at the premises and cooperation of guests to reduce the risk of ongoing infection, the site will remain open.” We really appreciate the support and cooperation from our guests in reducing the risk of ongoing infection, and we would like to remind everyone to regularly wash and dry their hands and be extra vigilant when preparing food. Dr Sarah Harrison, Interim Deputy Director of Health Protection for the Devon, Cornwall and Somerset PHE Centre advises: “Norovirus, which we suspect is causing people to become unwell, usually leads to mild diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal or stomach cramps that people recover from quickly. There is no specific treatment, but if affected, it is important to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.” We would like to wish those suffering a speedy recovery. And for those that have had to cut their break early or those that have booked, but would like to visit us another time, please contact us, and we would be more than happy to accommodate you.
