You catch it by eating or drinking contaminated food or drink that has vomit particles in it. Just wash your hands after the rest room, and before eating or drinking, and you should be fine. Also, never put your hands in your mouth! Norwalk virus is not airborne, so you can really only catch it if your hands are contaminated, and then you put your hands in your mouth. Also, use a bleach cleaner to clean kitchens and bathrooms, and make sure to avoid physical contact with a sick person. If you never put your hands in your mouth, you will most likely never get sick.

What is the Norwalk virus?

Hello there! The Norwalk virus, currently known as the Norovirus or the winter vomiting disease, is the virus that can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach aches. It was named the Norwalk virus earlier because the first incident actually happened with a bunch of elementary school kids suffering from this virus and it happened in Norwalk, Ohio, in the United States. But people over there threw a fit over it because viruses are usually named after the places are normally found for easy remembering so it had it's changed by a bunch of virologists. Hope this helped! 😃
