A Derbyshire hospital has reopened a ward which was closed due to an outbreak of virus. The Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Royal Hospital closed its Ashover ward on Tuesday.
The bug is similar to that suffered by passengers on the British cruise ship Aurora.
Half a dozen patients suffered symptoms of the Norwalk virus, which includes sickness and diarrhoea.
Plea to patients
Andrew Frisby from the hospital confirmed it is now business as usual.
He said: "We are back to normal. Services were affected in the initial incident but we are pleased to say we are getting things back to how they were.
"We hope there will be no more cases throughout the rest of the year.
"We are asking people who pick up the diarrhoea and vomiting bug not to bring it to hospital with them until they are two days clear."
