The United Kingdom, which is already seeing a surge in coronavirus cases amid relaxation of curbs, has now reported an outbreak of the norovirus.
Public Health England (PHE) has issued a warning after finding a rise in infections recently.
Over the past five weeks since May-end, there have been 154 reported cases of the norovirus in England, according to PHE.
The figures are three times that recorded over the same period during the previous five years, the health body has said.
Most of the surge occurred in educational settings, particularly in nursery and childcare facilities.
