How to spot warning signs of Scarlet Fever

Head teachers and nursery staff in Lincolnshire have been sent letters advising them how to spot the warning signs of the contagious infection Scarlet Fever.

The County council say they are doing it as a precaution only and are keen to point out there has only been a slight increase in the number of cases this year compared to 12 months ago.

But it's hoped by raising awareness and providing information more children can be treated as soon as they fall ill. Matt Price reports from one creche in Lincoln, which is working to teach parents about the symptoms.
