At this time there are no suspected or confirmed cases of meningitis in North Wales or elsewhere in Wales linked to the outbreak in Kent.

These conditions can progress rapidly from mild symptoms to severe illness. Babies, young children, teenagers and young adults (especially those in close-contact settings like colleges and universities) are at higher risk.
