A new report from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre has shown that Norovirus cases are surging in parts of Ireland after 21 new cases were detected in the week up to April 16.
Norovirus is a very contagious stomach virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea and anyone can become infected and sick if they come in contact with an infected person.
Cases had declined majorly during the pandemic, as restrictions kept people at home and social distancing in public with masks worn in crowded areas.
