Did you know Norovirus is highly contagious? Norovirus, also called the "stomach flu," can be prevented and stopped from spreading. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water; hand sanitizer alone is not effective against norovirus. Do not prepare, handle food, or care for others when you are sick. Wait at least 48 hours after symptoms stop. This is important if you work in a restaurant, school, daycare, long-term care facility, or other places where you may expose people to norovirus.
