A Whanganui East rest home has been in lockdown for three days after a virulent gastro bug hit the premises.
Masonic Court rest home closed on Tuesday for 72 hours while two elderly residents were kept in isolation and eight others, affected by the virus, were kept quarantined at the home.
The rest home re-opened on Thursday, with manager Victoria Morris saying there had been no other cases within the past 24 hours and all residents had recovered.
"We were closed while we were managing a gastro bug because we didn't want it going out into the community," Ms Morris said.
Whanganui Public Health protection manager Margaret Tunbridge said they were still waiting for the results from a sample they had sent away but it appeared to be a 24-hour virus.
