Norovirus cases in England have spiked to their highest level in a decade.
The 'winter vomiting bug' is notorious for spreading rapidly during the colder months.
And last week, an average of 743 adult hospital beds were taken up by patients suffering from sickness, diarrhoea, or other norovirus-like symptoms - a staggering 88 per cent increase from the previous week, according to the UK Health Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
