Norovirus to ruin Christmas for thousands
Families face ruined Christmas celebrations as the worst-ever outbreak of the winter vomiting bug escalates sharply.

By Stephen Adams, Health correspondent

9:30PM GMT 18 Dec 2012


Almost 900,000 people in England alone have been infected with norovirus this winter, updated official figures suggest. It causes severely upset stomachs for up to five days.

The number is almost twice as many as were infected by mid-December last year and is the worst start to the norovirus season on record. More than 5,000 NHS workers are reportedly calling in sick every day with the bug.

The greater number of parties and gatherings as the festive season approaches has contributed to the rise, according to experts. Those who experience norovirus in the days before Christmas need to “weigh up” whether they should visit family and friends, particularly frail relatives such as elderly grandparents, they said.

Even careful hand-washing and other measures “cannot guarantee” that it will not be passed on, warned John Harris, an expert on norovirus at the Health Protection Agency.

Those who had been ill could unknowingly infect others for up to a week after they had recovered, said another expert.

They were speaking after the HPA published figures showing that this year’s outbreak appeared to be accelerating. The data suggest some 120,000 people have suffered the illness in the last seven days, roughly double the number of the previous week.

Meanwhile, data from the Department of Health showed 2,398 hospital beds were closed due to norovirus - equating to 1 in 50 of all available beds, a newspaper reported.

Further figures showed an average of 5,263 NHS staff were calling in sick with typical symptoms every day, according to the Daily Mail. During November some 128,800 working days were lost in the NHS due to employee sickness. It is estimated that 0.4% of the 1.4 million health workers are off with symptoms.

Mr Harris said that a simple handshake was enough to pass on the bug, if an infected person had not washed properly after going to the lavatory. It could also be passed on by those handling food.

Thorough handwashing after using the lavatory, before preparing food and before eating could minimise the risk but could not eliminate it, he said.
