The 29-year-old woman who sparked public health fears after disappearing from hospital with a contagious condition has been found. Kayleigh McConnon was last seen at Cheltenham General Hospital at around 10pm on Tuesday - just as thousands descended on the town for the annual horse racing event.
But she was today found and is now back in the hands of medics at the hospital.
Police this morning urged the public to avoid her because of her contagious medical condition' which was described as 'not sinister' and 'normal'.

Earlier in the day they said: 'Police in Cheltenham are trying to locate a 29-year-old woman who has been reported missing from hospital.
