Health experts in the Bay Area are warning about a significant rise in norovirus cases this winter, calling it one of the worst seasons in a decade.
The CDC reported a dramatic increase in norovirus cases nationwide, with 2024 having the highest numbers since 2012, based on the timeframe from August to December.
WastewaterScan, a program tracking disease traces in the Bay Area, detected norovirus levels that were astonishingly high, showing a 458% increase from last year.
John Swartzberg noted that while norovirus typically diminishes by spring, the severity of this winter's cases is higher than what has been seen in recent years.
