Amy Douglas, from the UK Health Security Agency, saidd: “Norovirus cases are way above what we would usually see at this time of year and outbreaks in hospitals continue to rise.

“Just because you’ve had norovirus doesn’t mean you won’t get it again.

“It’s really important that if you have diarrhoea and vomiting, you take steps to avoid passing the infection on.

“Please avoid visiting people in hospitals and care homes to prevent passing on the infection in these settings.

“Do not return to work, school or nursery until 48 hours after your symptoms have stopped and don’t prepare food for others in that time either.

“This is because you can still pass on the virus in the days after you stop being sick.”
