England is experiencing an unseasonable rise in winter vomiting virus, officials are warning.
Public Health England (PHE) says 154 norovirus outbreaks have been reported in the last five weeks, compared to an average of 53 over the same time period in the previous five years.
Most have been in educational settings, particularly in nurseries.
But cases are returning to pre-pandemic levels across all age groups and settings and people should be on alert.
Symptoms include sudden, projectile vomiting and diarrhoea.
It is very contagious - people sick with it can shed billions of norovirus particles. It only takes a few of these virus particles to infect others.
