Winter vomiting bug continues to wreak havoc on NHS

Winter vomiting bug continues to wreak havoc on NHS Cases of the winter vomiting bug rocketed by 27 per cent last week across NHS hospitals, official figures reveal.

Some 5,718 beds were closed because of norovirus or diarrhoea and vomiting - an average of 817 each day.

In contrast, just 640 beds were shut off each day, on average, in the previous week, according to the NHS England statistics.

Concerned experts have warned the spike is putting further pressure on already over-stretched hospitals, battling their worst winter ever. The Daily Mail
