Norovirus Cases Are Surging. These Are The Most Common Symptoms Doctors Are Seeing Right Now.

Huff Post  

Xavier Lorenzo via Getty Images Vomiting and diarrhea are two main symptoms of a norovirus infection. It’s also common for norovirus to be spread by food handlers, with Lokant adding, “Foods commonly involved in outbreaks include leafy greens, fresh fruits and shellfish,” while Kuritzkes noted that raw oysters from Washington state and Oregon “have been implicated in some of the current outbreaks.” RealPeopleGroup via Getty Images Thorough hand washing with soap and water can keep you from getting sick with norovirus. “The norovirus actually has a protective outer shell, making alcohol-based hand sanitizers less effective than hand washing,” Lokant said. “If there’s anybody in the household who has symptoms of norovirus, they should not be preparing food for others,” Kuritzkes said. “And then, if somebody has those symptoms, they, of course, should stay home from work until they resolve.” Ideally, folks should isolate from other people until they’re feeling well again, Sweat said.
