Hi Louise, I think I knew about this as someone on TA Taba Forum posted a thread about it as they were there while it was going on and one of their party was hospitalised, but TA deleted the post. The person was trying to warn people not to go there at that present time until it had cleared up.

Tiried, but failed, to attach a link but there is a report in the Derby Evening Telegraph dated 6 May about a local family of 3 being amongst 150 holiday makers taking legal action because of stomach problems. Both staff and tourists affected.

Norwalk virus definition........

What are the symptoms of Norwalk-like viruses?

The signs and symptoms of Norwalk-like viruses are similar and usually occur between 24 hours and 48 hours after exposure. They include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle aches, headache, tiredness and low-grade fever. Symptoms typically last 24 hours to 48 hours and subside on their own. There are no known long- term effects after recovery from this infection.

Unlikely I would have thought not on that scale, not if everybody seemed to come down with it at the same time. Surely if it was brought in by one or two people it could have been contained a lot more quickly. Large scale problems seem to be when everybody catches something simultaniously.
