The chief executive of the Commonwealth Games has said the norovirus outbreak at the Athletes' Village has "is being sorted".
David Grevemberg's comments came after a slowdown in the rate of new cases indicated that the outbreak may have peaked. There are currently 53 cases, with a further update expected today.
Mr Grevemberg said yesterday the situation is being dealt with.
He said: "Health and Safety is top priority for Glasgow 2014. We are in control of this situation. It has all been sorted. Things are looking great."
Those workers affected have been told to remain at home until they are clear of symptoms of the bug - which causes diarrhoea and vomiting - for 48 hours.
The source of the outbreak was traced on Friday.
A temporary toilet believed to have been the primary source of the infections has been removed and the area cleaned.
First Minister Alex Salmond confirmed the problem had arisen from a "temporary facility" in an area used for security.
Meanwhile, local infection controls are being used to minimise the risk of further spread.
Dr Gillian Penrice, Consultant in Public Health Medicine for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, said a decline in the number of new cases was what would be expected as the outbreak runs its course.
"Staff who have been symptom free for 48 hours are starting to return to work and those who are still experiencing mild symptoms are not giving any cause for concern as a result of the virus," she said.
Norovirus is the most common stomach bug in the UK and its effects are usually mild.
Most people fight it off after a period of about 24 hours.
