Medics fear surge in winter viruses alongside Covid
A surge in flu and other respiratory viruses could put pressure on people's health and the NHS this winter, warns a report by leading medics.
They say testing for flu, Covid and a respiratory virus common in children and the elderly - called RSV - may help doctors treat cases more quickly.
The Academy of Medical Sciences report calls for people with any symptoms to isolate and stay at home.
This will help protect against all respiratory viruses this winter.
The report, by 29 leading experts and requested by the government, says there is great uncertainty about what the next few months will hold across the UK, but it urges policymakers to prepare for a challenging winter.
