What Is Norovirus Infection ?

It is an infection that triggers the immediate onset of intense diarrhea and vomiting. In addition to this, the virus is extremely infectious and generally transmits to an otherwise healthy body by means of consuming water or food that has been contaminated with fecal matter, while being prepared. Therefore, norovirus infection is common in places with poor sanitary conditions. In addition to, close contacts with an infected individual also serve as the basis to spread the illness.

Often the signs persist for 1-3 days and resolve on their own without the need of medical aid. Though for some, particularly individuals with some underlying diseases, older adults and infants, diarrhea and vomiting can lead to intense dehydration, and thus needs medical assistance.

  • Hospitals.
  • Cruise ships.
