Local GP warns people in Carlow and Kilkenny of highly infectious virus that’s spreading like wildfire

Dr Paula Greally says we need to start taking precautions again

The Norovirus is what causes the winter vomiting bug and there’s a massive outbreak across Europe.

Dr Paula Greally says we need to start taking precautions again because it can have serious effects for vulnerable people.
