Health officials said that the virus can spread after coming in direct contact with an infected person, by infected foods or liquids consumption, or by touching one’s mouth after touching a contaminated surface. That’s why it’s so important to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after using the bathroom, especially if you are sick.

Symptoms of norovirus infection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of taste, lethargy, weakness, muscle pain, abdominal pain, headache, and mild fever. Even though it’s associated to winter, it can present itself even in the summer, but the cold season seems to be its breeding ground and home.
