Although norovirus is very infectious, there are precautions you and your family may take in case someone in your home becomes sick.
The NHS states that intimate contact with an infected individual, as well as touching contaminated surfaces or items and then touching your lips,
May spread the norovirus. The virus may also spread via food that has been cooked or touched by an ill person.
Alcohol hand gels do not eradicate the norovirus germs, which is another factor that makes it harder for families to remain healthy.
Avoiding circumstances that might aid in its spread, such as close contact with possibly infected individuals or surfaces, is the first step in various attempts to prevent it.
