Several British hospitals are being forced to close wards due to a massive outbreak of scabies, the Sun newspaper reports.
As the newspaper notes, some hospitals have limited visits from relatives to patients, and staff have been asked to take extra precautions to avoid infection. For some recently discharged patients, doctors call to find out if they have been infected with a pathogen.
The newspaper notes that scabies was once considered a disease, the widespread spread of which ended in the Victorian era (at the beginning of the 20th century). Despite this, the number of cases continues to rise. At the same time, several other diseases from the past have recently returned - the number of measles cases has also increased since 2021, Sun writes.
