Norovirus

Slogan: “Let me tell you what I do. I act just like the stomach flu.”

Habitat: Norovirus is very contagious and can spread easily from person to person especially in closed spaces like on cruise ships, classrooms, daycare centers and nursing homes. Outbreaks of norovirus are more common from November to April. Both the feces and vomit are highly infectious and an infected person can shed the virus for a long time after their symptoms disappear.

Norovirus

Slogan: “Let me tell you what I do. I act just like the stomach flu.”

Habitat: Norovirus is very contagious and can spread easily from person to person especially in closed spaces like on cruise ships, classrooms, daycare centers and nursing homes. Outbreaks of norovirus are more common from November to April. Both the feces and vomit are highly infectious and an infected person can shed the virus for a long time after their symptoms disappear.
