Visitation has been totally restricted at the Health Centre in Gull Lake after an outbreak of an interric illness was declared earlier this morning.

     Cypress Health Region's Executive Director Bryce Martin says health officials believe an outbreak of gastro-intestinal illness in the community was transferred into the Health Centre.

     Martin reminds the public to prevent the spread of illness with frequent hand washing, coughing and sneezing into your arm, and staying home if you're sick.

     Health officials are unsure at this time how long the outbreak status will remain in effect in Gull Lake.  Martin says that the outbreak status that had been placed on Cabri is under control and they are allowing visitation to occur at the facility once again.
