A TRUST are asking people suffering from the norovirus to stay away from hospital.
East Lancashire Hospitals Trust took to Facebook to request that those suffering the winter vomiting bug stay away from Accident and Emergency wards.
A spokesman for the trust said in the Facebook post: "If you have norovirus, or the winter vomiting bug, please don't come to A&E.
"It can be very unpleasant but it usually clears up by itself in a few days."
Anyone who is concerned or needs advice should call their GP or NHS 111.
