10 Causes and Symptoms of Norovirus

8. Breathing Infected Droplets

People who work in places with a high concentration of human activity, such as public schools, offices, cruise ships, and hospitals, are at an increased risk of contracting norovirus. This is due to that fact that norovirus can quickly spread through the air, infecting people that happen to breathe infected droplets. That's why norovirus can quickly spread to hundreds of people in a matter of hours or days. Taking necessary precautions in such areas is important. Frequent washing of hands, as well as regular disinfection of surfaces, should be made a priority. If you suspect an infection, you may experience mild stomach cramps, followed by more severe symptoms.
