Health Experts Warn Britons to Be Aware of Distinct Symptoms Linked to New Virus Spread

### Health Experts Advise Brits to Recognise 'Mystery Virus' Symptoms

A new virus is spreading across the UK, prompting health experts to alert the public about its symptoms. Reports indicate that this virus seems to have similarities to the common cold and flu but features distinctive symptoms that people need to know.

The virus began affecting the population recently, causing symptoms such as fever, conjunctivitis, and prolonged illness. Experts note that adenoviruses are more likely to lead to these symptoms, leading to concern as they may last longer than typical cold symptoms. "Compared to a cold, adenovirus can be more likely to cause fever and conjunctivitis, and symptoms can last longer," said Ian.

People are urged to monitor their health and recognise any unusual symptoms. Health officials recommend contacting a GP or NHS 111 if you experience severe illness or worsening symptoms. It is essential for the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions to limit the spread of this virus.
