There are six key symptoms of norovirus to look out for, according to Professor Saheer Gharbia, gastrointestinal pathogens and food safety directorate at UK Health Security Agency. People are being urged to avoid visiting elderly relatives, especially in hospitals and care homes, if feeling unwell and to use soap and water instead of alcohol gel, which does not kill the virus. “As with Covid-19 and other infectious illnesses, hand washing is really important to help stop the spread of this bug, but remember, unlike for Covid alcohol gels do not kill off norovirus so soap and water is best.” Norovirus is highly infectious and causes vomiting and diarrhoea but usually passes in a couple of days. The norovirus last made headlines in March earlier this year, when the UKHSA warned that cases had more than doubled in England as it spread through nurseries, schools and care homes.
