Norovirus, often referred to as the Norwalk virus, is typically described as having a spherical shape. It measures about 27 to 40 nanometers in diameter and is classified as a non-enveloped virus. Its structure includes a single-stranded RNA genome encapsulated in a protein shell, which contributes to its stability and ability to survive in various environments.

Can you get the Norwalk flu twice?
Yes, it is possible to get the Norwalk virus, commonly associated with gastroenteritis, more than once. This is because there are multiple strains of the virus, and immunity to one strain does not guarantee immunity to others. Additionally, the immune response may wane over time, making reinfection possible. Taking precautions such as proper hand hygiene can help reduce the risk of contracting the virus again.
