Public health bosses are issuing their annual warning to those unfortunate enough to contract the Winter Vomiting Virus.
A number of cases of Norovirus have been reported so far this year, and Director of Public Health Dr Parameswaran Kishore says it's imperative people don't spread the disease by going to hospital with it.
He says if you have it, stay at home for at least 48 hours, so there is no risk of passing on the highly-contagious disease to others.
Dr Kishore adds that, in such circumstances, it is even more important to stay away from hospitals, GP surgeries and pharmacies:
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
