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.
