Experiencing symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea is an unpleasant experience that nobody looks forward to. Regrettably, these symptoms are frequently caused by a highly contagious virus called norovirus.

Norovirus is a virus that spreads easily and can affect anyone. Researchers explain that norovirus is a common cause of vomiting and diarrhea in both adults and children. Norovirus is remarkably resilient in the environment, and only a small amount of the virus is required to transmit the disease, making it highly contagious. However, there are effective preventive measures that can be taken to stop its spread. 

One of the most crucial preventive steps is practicing good hand hygiene. Thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds can significantly decrease the risk of norovirus transmission. Additionally, avoiding close contact with individuals who are already sick can further prevent the spread of the disease.
