flag Norovirus hospital cases in England hit record winter levels, straining the NHS.

flag A norovirus outbreak in England has reached its highest level this winter, with an average of 1,012 hospital patients per day, a 9% weekly increase and 38% above the long-term average. flag The highly contagious virus, causing vomiting and diarrhea, is spreading rapidly, leading to hospital bed closures and temporary visiting bans at facilities like Stepping Hill Hospital. flag Health officials warn of a potential second surge, urging the public to practice strict hand hygiene, stay home for at least 48 hours after symptoms end, and avoid schools, workplaces, and care homes. flag While flu hospitalizations continue to decline, norovirus remains a major strain on NHS services.
