New case of illness at Nelson holiday camp

5:34 pm on 27 January 2010

A holiday camp in Nelson will remain closed for at least two more days following the illness of another camper.

Nelson medical officer of health Ed Kiddle says the latest victim has the same vomiting and diarrhoea symptoms as about 120 other people last week.

Dr Kiddle says he was not happy to learn that the Golden Bay Holiday Park admitted new campers on Tuesday, despite being asked not to.

However, the new arrivals are not sick with the suspected norovirus.
