This report presents provisional information on weekly numbers of laboratory reports of norovirus in Scotland from ISO week 27 to ISO week 26 of the following year to capture the winter peak of seasonal activity. The current data is presented up to the end of week 5 (week ending 2 February 2025) compared to the same time frame for the 2023/24 period and the average for the 2016/17 to 2023/24 periods, excluding 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This data is based on laboratory confirmed reports of norovirus from clinical diagnostic laboratories in Scotland which are reported to Public Health Scotland (PHS) via Electronic Communication of Surveillance in Scotland (ECOSS).
