Brits, take note: a key symptom to watch out for when eating could mean you're dealing with Covid-19 rather than another run-of-the-mill winter virus.
As flu season hits hard with the usual suspects of RSV, norovirus, and yes, Covid-19, it can get confusing to tell them apart—luckily, the UK Government is on hand with some guidance.The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warns there are "high levels" of these diseases every winter, making it tricky to diagnose yourself without the right knowledge.
Amid persisting high cases of Covid, official advice is here to help. Recent UKHSA data up to 11 December reveals a slight decline, showing 1,069 confirmed Covid cases—a drop of 1.6% from the week before.That said, Covid-related deaths and hospitalisations are still climbing.
Reports show an 8.1% increase in deaths to 107 by 6 December, and 1,085 hospital admissions by the end of November, marking a rise of 1.5%.
