How do you pass a stomach virus?

A stomach virus, often referred to as viral gastroenteritis, is typically transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, contaminated food or water, or surfaces that carry the virus. The virus can spread via the fecal-oral route, where tiny particles of feces from an infected person contaminate hands, food, or surfaces. Close contact, such as caring for someone who is sick or sharing utensils, can also facilitate transmission. Practicing good hygiene, like frequent handwashing and sanitizing surfaces, can help prevent the spread of the virus.
