Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Schools across the UK grapple with a severe flu outbreak, reminiscent of the pandemics early days. A particularly aggressive strain, dubbed superflu, has led to widespread closures, with Saint Martins in Caerphilly, South Wales, temporarily shutting down after over 250 students and staff fell ill. Public Health Wales confirms the strain, an H3N2 variant, is more infectious and severe than last years. Hospitalizations have surged tenfold, prompting calls for face masks and raising concerns about the NHSs ability to cope with the worst flu season on record.
