An increase in the number of norovirus outbreaks in recent weeks, public health experts have warned.

As coronavirus restrictions ease across the country and people start meeting others more regularly, there have been warnings that norovirus could spread further even though it is not typical of the summer period.
Public Health England said: "It is possible that unusual or out-of-season increases could be seen in the coming months following further easing of Covid-19 control measures."
In the last five weeks, 154 outbreaks have been notified, compared to an average of 53 outbreaks for the same time period in the previous five years.
Which are The Main Symptoms?
The main symptoms of norovirus are:
nausea
diarrhoea
vomiting
People who contract the bug sometimes also experience a high temperature, headache, aching arms and legs.
Usually, the virus is severe for one or two days before symptoms start going away.
