Sickness bug hits resort's hotel
Quarantine measures have been brought in at a hotel in North Yorkshire for the third time in ten years.

More than 90 visitors and staff at the Grand Hotel in Scarbrough have been affected by the Noro stomach virus.

Health experts are trying to control the bug which causes sickness and diarrhoea.

In May 2002, the Grand was closed after 150 guests and 30 staff fell ill and an outbreak of Norwalk hit the hotel in 1995.
