There are two confirmed cases of gastroenteritis at a welfare centre in Linwood.
The two sufferers have been removed from Linwood College, but they're not being taken to hospital because there's a high risk of infection.
Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Alistair Humphrey says the focus is on isolation.
"I understand that the nurse at that welfare centre has isolated those cases on our advice, and is keeping them separate from the other people at the welfare centre."
Dr Humphrey says he expects more cases to be reported in the coming days.

Health authorities are unsure whether the infection was due to contaminated water, or whether the infection pre-dated Saturday morning's earthquake, Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Ramon Pink said.
