Causes Of Norovirus

Hands Touching The Mouth

Norovirus can also be spread by touching a contaminated surface, such as a table, countertop, or eating utensils, and then putting one's fingers in their mouth. Because norovirus is so small and can contaminate pretty much any surface, it is imperative to practice good hygiene, such as being sure to wash hands frequently with warm water and soap. Infected individuals should make sure they wash their hands every time they use the restroom and avoid using bar soap if possible. Pumped or touchless soaps are better options. Individuals should also be cautious of their hands touching their mouth. It is also best to avoid sharing eating utensils. Countertops and tables should be kept sanitized, and all other surfaces wiped down frequently, especially if a known or suspected person with norovirus has visited the area.
