Parents have been warned of a likely chickenpox outbreak following the end of Covid-19 restrictions in the UK. Chickenpox is a very common illness associated with children, but it can affect people of all ages.

While not usually serious, the disease is highly infectious and can cause itchiness and spotty rashes. The recent rise in cases in nurseries is being blamed on people mixing more frequently due to restrictions being lifted by the government, Wales Online reports.

Chickenpox is so infectious that, according to the NHS, you can catch it by simply being in the same room as an infected person - it can also be spread by touching things that have fluids from blisters on them such as tissues and bedding.

Those with chickenpox can spread it for two days before spots appear or until they have all formed spots, roughly five days after they appeared.
