Norovirus is highly contagious, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. It spreads through direct contact with infected individuals, consumption of contaminated food or water, and touching contaminated surfaces. Preventive measures include thorough handwashing with soap and water, proper food handling, and disinfecting contaminated surfaces. Individuals experiencing symptoms are advised to stay home and avoid preparing food for others until at least 48 hours after symptoms subside.
