Isle has third E.coli case

A third case of E.coli has been confirmed on a Scottish island.

NHS Orkney launched an investigation after two children who attended the same nursery in Kirkwall contracted the illness.

Last week, other children and staff from the nursery were being screened as a precaution. During investigations, health officials identified a third confirmed case of E.coli O157, who has not been showing any symptoms.
