Cases of disease more than double after parasite found in drinking water

There are 46 cases of cryptosporidiosis, a diarrhoeal illness, the UK Health Security Agency has said - with more than 100 further people reporting similar symptoms in the Brixham area.
Other reported cases of diarrhoea and vomiting in residents and visitors to Brixham, in Devon, are also under investigation.

Health professionals to answer calls from the concerned, provide access to GP and a&E services, weekend cover with ambulances and to access to information and assistance without delay when needed. Provide checks on elderly and vulnerable, provide support in schools and in clinics and hospitals. AND get the health emergency sorted without delay. Make suppliers and all responsible accountable. There should be questions, consequences and an invoice!
