Noro

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes stomach illness, leading to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. It spreads easily through contaminated food, water, surfaces, or close contact with infected individuals. Norovirus is common worldwide and often causes outbreaks in places like restaurants, schools, and cruise ships. While it generally causes short-term illness, it can be severe for vulnerable populations. Good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and disinfecting surfaces, can help prevent its spread. There is no specific treatment, but most people recover with rest and hydration.
