Norovirus is a highly contagious virus, often called the "stomach bug," causing sudden nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

It spreads easily through contaminated food, water, or surfaces—and even close contact with an infected person.

You might feel nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and watery diarrhea within 12-48 hours of exposure.

Think it’s just a stomach flu? Norovirus is the leading cause of "stomach bug" outbreaks worldwide.

Yes, incredibly! Norovirus is one of the most contagious stomach viruses. Even tiny particles can infect others.

Disinfect surfaces with bleach or alcohol-based cleaners—ordinary soap alone may not do the trick.

There’s no specific cure. Rest, stay hydrated, and eat small, bland meals to recover.

Wash your hands thoroughly, avoid sharing food, and clean contaminated surfaces immediately.
