The UK Health Security Agency, which is leading an investigation into the outbreak, has confirmed at least 22 cases of disease have been detected. People living in two different areas have now been told to boil their tap drinking water by South West Water.
People have been told to boil their drinking water after 22 cases of a waterborne disease were confirmed in South West England. 'Small traces' of a parasite which can cause a disease with diarrhoea symptoms were found in the water supply in Devon on Wednesday, according to South West Water. It added it is working with the UK Health Security Agency to 'eliminate the source' of the disease and that bottled water stations will be set up in the areas affected.
Sarah Bird, consultant in health protection at UKHSA South West, added: 'We advise people in the affected areas to follow the advice from South West Water and boil their drinking water and allow to cool before use. 'Anyone with a diarrhoeal illness should drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and if they have severe symptoms like bloody diarrhoea, they should contact NHS 111 or their GP surgery.
