A mutant H3N2 strain is spreading across Britain and is believed to be more infectious and to cause more severe illness and hospital admissions than last year. Leading virologists warn the outbreak may leave people more vulnerable to simultaneous seasonal infections such as norovirus and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), potentially worsening symptoms. Health officials have urged members of the public to consider wearing masks again to reduce transmission. Hospitalisations in England rose by a third in a week, with a spike among school-aged children, while Scotland reported a 45% jump in cases.
