Norovirus

is highly contagious; it is normally contracted through the consumption of food contaminated with the virus. Symptoms associated with norovirus normally include severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in some less likely cases people are also known to experience low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Infected individuals usually experience symptoms within 24 to 48 hours of exposure. In most cases people infected with norovirus experience symptoms for up to 60 hours but more prolonged and severe symptoms may develop for young children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems.

Ron Simon

, a national

norovirus lawyer

, stated “Norovirus is highly contagious and can survive on items an infected person has handled for days or even weeks, so it’s important to be aware of your surroundings, the food you handle, and the presence of any infected persons. Hand washing, using alcohol-based lotions, properly preparing food, and consciously avoiding contact with potentially contaminated objects will greatly reduce the likelihood of contracting a norovirus.”
