Over 4,000 people have fallen ill so far from a Norovirus outbreak in northeastern Southhampton after drinking bottled spring water contaminated with human faecal matter, marking the first time that the virus has been found in bottled water, which has confounded scientists. The Eden Springs bottled water company has now recalled over 6,150 bottles of water that had been distributed in 925 companies in response to the outbreak. This follows reports of an Norovirus outbreak on Spain-based liner, the Queen Mary 2, which has been banned from entering Jordanian waters due to the highly contagious stomach bug.
