Health officials warn people with flu or Covid symptoms to avoid mixing with vulnerable relatives.
However, health officials have said those with signs of respiratory illness should avoid mixing during the festive season, particularly with vulnerable people.
Hospital admissions for Covid are highest in the south west of England with a rate of 15.21 per 100,000 people. "Covid restrictions kept flu at bay in previous seasons but the ending of these and plunging temperatures in recent weeks has resulted in increased socialising indoors, which is why both viruses are on the rise," a Department of Health spokesperson said.The government continued to call for people eligible for both the Covid booster and flu vaccines to come forward as soon as possible for their free jabs.
