  • I would say 48hrs too, as long as they feel good and everything is back to normal


  • It’s important to stay home, away from work, school or childcare, until 48 hours after the last episode of vomiting or diarrhoea.


  • At least a minimum of 48 hours After symptoms have stopped. I go 3-4 days to be safe.


  • Absolutely, and that is 48 hours after the gastro stops, not from when it starts.


  • I wouldn’t send a child back to school until they feel well enough and are back to eating regular food.


  • Usually when the vomiting and diarrhoea are under control and they’re back to normal eating. I usually send a change of clothes just in case
