🆕 Norovirus data: norovirus activity has increased in recent weeks, particularly in adults aged 65 years and over. 🔗 Full report: gov.uk/government/statistics…
A UK Health Security Agency infographic titled ‘Norovirus lab reports, in England by week.’ It shows a bar chart of positive norovirus laboratory reports from 30 June 2025 to 18 January 2026, with weekly green bars compared against a dotted 5‑season average. Reports start around 80–100 per week in July, dip slightly in August, then rise steadily through autumn. By late December and January, the bars increase sharply, peaking above 450 reports. Source noted as the Second-Generation Surveillance System (SGSS).

Flu can be serious, especially for older people and those at higher risk. Millions have been vaccinated this season, and there are still thousands of appointments available. If you’re eligible, it’s not too late to get yours. ➡️ nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccinat…

Book, change or cancel a flu vaccination appointment

New data shows cases of people in hospital with winter viruses are rising again, and the cold weather means the NHS is seeing more patients in A&E with respiratory problems. It remains an extremely busy time. Read more ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2026/01/bounc…

🏥 Our A&Es are very busy today - and while our dedicated teams are working hard to prioritise care for patients who are seriously unwell, anyone attending A&E with a minor illness or injury is likely to experience a long wait. (1/3)
