Stop the spread of the Norovirus

November 5, 2008

Noroviruses are part of a group of viruses that are the most common cause of gastroenteritis (stomach bugs) in the UK. Noroviruses are also called the ‘winter vomiting disease’ because people tend to get them during the winter months. However, they can occur at any time of the year.

How noroviruses are spread
It is estimated that the norovirus affects between 600,000 and 1 million people in the UK every year. Outbreaks of the illness are common, particularly within contained environments such as hospitals, nursing homes and schools. This is because the norovirus spreads very easily from person to person and the virus can survive for several days in a contaminated area.

The norovirus can be spread through contact with an infected person, through contact with surfaces or objects that are contaminated with the virus, or by eating contaminated food or water.

Stop Norovirus – wash your hands
