An Embleton aged care facility has been struck with a limited outbreak of norovirus (gastroenteritis), which forced parts of the facility to be closed. Juniper, the organisation that manages and operates the 70-bed City of Bayswater Hostel on Embleton Avenue, notified the WA Health Department immediately of the first case of gastro last Saturday along with on-going daily updates. Chief executive Vaughan Harding said the department was responsible for giving the “all clear” after at least 48 hours elapsing since the last appearance of symptoms.
