As lockdown restrictions begin to lift and families start socialising we are beginning to see a rise in cases of bronchiolitis in babies across hospitals in Surrey.

- Bronchiolitis is a very common virus spread the same way as COVID-19 and most babies get better on their own, but a small number of babies can become very unwell.
- To help keep your baby well, regularly wash their hands and toys and make space from those who have coughs and colds which can lead to bronchiolitis in babies.

If you have any concerns about your baby please contact your GP or call 111.
