Eight viruses making people ill in England now full list and symptoms
25th Feb 2026 - The Mirror
England is seeing a bit of a surge in temperatures this week, with it forecast to hit 18C in some places on Wednesday. It’s been weeks of rain and cold - and in those conditions some nasty viruses flourish as people lock themselves away indoors, making it more likely for viruses to spread.
However, even though the weather has improved a bit, there are still some nasty illnesses hitting people across England. Latest figures from the UK Health Security Agency, which covers England, show around eight viruses are causing people to fall ill currently - with some like Covid 19 and influenza dropping slightly. However, the norovirus levels have soared to their highest levels so far.
There were an average of 1,012 patients in hospital with norovirus each day. Data published on February 19 showed the average number of patients in hospital with norovirus each day this week rose to over 1,000 for the first time this winter (1,012).
The total is a jump of almost nine percent (8.9 per cent) in cases compared with the previous week (929). And the average number of norovirus patients in hospitals per day rose by more than 2.5 times from the start to the end of January (from 361 to 950). NHS England said the country was facing a “second surge” as cases rose again in February after briefly stabilising at the start of the month.
