A new interactive map which outlines suspected Strep A infections throughout the UK has showed more than a dozen cases of the virus throughout Nottinghamshire. All in all, 13 cases of the virus have been identified by GPs in the county as medics continue to monitor an out-of-season rise in Strep A.
Nottingham, Gedling and Newark and Sherwood are the areas with the highest number of suspected infections, with three each. Broxtowe and Rushcliffe remain the only districts in Nottinghamshire with no detected cases, with two potential cases spotted in Mansfield, and one each in Ashfield and Bassetlaw.
Earlier this month, on December 7, a case of Strep A was confirmed at a school in Nottinghamshire. A letter sent by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), seen by Nottinghamshire Live, was sent to parents and carers at East Bridgford St Peter's CofE Academy.
