Around 100 trainee officers at the Sandhurst Military Academy have been confined to barracks following the sudden outbreak of the virus yesterday.

An environmental health team has been called in at the college in Camberley in a bid to track down the origin of the mystery virus.

Yesterday the Ministry of Defence confirmed a number of cadets believed to be under 100 had been taken ill and tests were being carried out to find out what the illness was.
