Sickness And Diarrhoea Bug Cases Spike 60% In Two Weeks

If you tend to avoid the worst effects of norovirus, this could be why. 

Norovirus cases have surged by a staggering 60% in the past fortnight, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has warned. 

The virus is a nasty one, causing sudden symptoms including vomiting and diarrhoea, as well as a high temperature, headache, stomach pain or other aches and pains. 

Amy Douglas, lead epidemiologist at UKHSA, said the virus is continuing to rise, particularly among people aged 65 and over.
