UK sees record norovirus hospitalizations, with health officials warning of a second surge due to winter gatherings and low immunity.
Norovirus cases in the UK have surged, with NHS England reporting a record 1,012 hospitalizations per day, a nearly 9% weekly increase and over double the January average.
Health officials warn of a "second surge," attributing the rise to winter indoor gatherings, multiple circulating strains, and reduced immunity.
The virus, which causes vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and body aches, spreads easily through contaminated surfaces, food, or person-to-person contact and can survive for days.
Pharmacist Jason Murphy stresses that thorough handwashing for at least 20 seconds—especially after the restroom or public transport—is key to prevention.
Experts recommend disinfecting surfaces with bleach, staying home when sick, and staying hydrated.
There is no cure, but hygiene and symptom management are critical to slowing transmission.
