Britain is facing winter bugs crisis as flu outbreak shuts schools

A mutant flu outbreak, dubbed 'superflu,' is causing widespread school closures in the UK as sickness rates soar. Over 250 pupils and staff fell ill at St Martin's School in Caerphilly, prompting a temporary closure for deep cleaning and online learning.

Congleton High School and Danesfield Middle School also closed due to high illness rates. Hospitalizations in London have tripled, with health officials urging mask-wearing to limit virus spread.

Around 100 cruise passengers reported norovirus symptoms during a world trip. Experts warn of an unprecedented flu season, with the NHS facing significant pressure.
