Meanwhile, the Adelaide 36ers are dealing with a bout of gastro through the team, after import Jacob Wiley was deemed too unwell to fly home from Perth on Sunday. 'To stop the spread of these illnesses we encourage everyone to continue practising good hand hygiene, wipe down surfaces and objects - particularly those that are shared - and stay at home if you're sick,' an SA Health spokesperson said. People with rotavirus should stay away from childcare, kindergarten, school and work until there has been no vomiting or diarrhoea for at least 24 hours. In serious cases, the illness can cause severe dehydration and require treatment in hospital. The onset of symptoms is sudden and generally last about three to seven days. The contagious virus spreads through infected faeces and is ingested through the mouth, which commonly happens in daycare centres, family homes and aged care facilities. 'Our teams are well versed in managing illnesses and at all times our teams follow public health requirements related to infection control,' a spokesperson said. 'I don't know whether that's the cause of why we are seeing more rotavirus notifications this year but it is certainly something that parents can do to make sure their child is fully protected, and it's much better than getting gastro and having to deal with it,' she said.Ī Goodstart Early Learning spokesperson said they have 'robust processes and procedures' in place to reduce the spread of illness at their centres. She told ABC Radio Adelaide that she was concerned that vaccination rates among infants and children have dropped nationwide.Ī rotavirus vaccine for children aged six weeks and four months is included under the National Immunisation Program Schedule. SA Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said there could be more rotavirus cases in the community that have not been tested or reported because a stool sample is required to confirm the virus.
