UK faces potential second norovirus wave with even recently infected people at risk

Health officials warn of a potential second norovirus wave in the UK as more individuals are getting reinfected.
The UK Health Security Agency reports that the GII.17 genotype accounts for 59% of cases, while the GII.4 strain has risen to 29% from 10% three months ago.
Those previously infected may be at risk due to multiple strains of norovirus.
Preventative measures include thorough handwashing with soap and water, as norovirus is resistant to alcohol.
