NORWALK: Isle re-opens after bug all-clear - (BBC News)
October 5, 2007 – 8:54 pmThe first visitors to Lundy in nearly two weeks have spent the night on the north Devon island.
It has been closed since an outbreak of Norwalk virus caused vomiting and diarrhoea in about 50 people.
The island’s only pub, shop, and even the supply ship the MS Oldenburg have been deep-cleaned in an attempt to stamp out the problem.
The island is owned by the National Trust and managed by the Landmark Trust as a holiday destination.
