Water contamination in a New Zealand town may have made as many as 2,000 people sick, Fairfax Media reported Monday.
All schools in the North Island town of Havelock North have been advised to close to contain the spread of a stomach bug that the Hawke’s Bay District Health Board estimates has already afflicted between 1,000 and 2,000 people, Fairfax said. The bug is believed to be campylobacter, it said.
