City of Kansas City MO Health Department - People With Norovirus Illness (AKA Stomach Bug) Can Shed Billions of Norovirus Particles

People with norovirus illness (aka stomach bug) can shed billions of norovirus particles. And only a few virus particles can make other people sick.

Important but uncomfortable message ahead.... 

.........

.........

Norovirus can be found in your vomit or feces (poop) even before you start feeling sick. The virus can also stay in your feces for two weeks or more after you feel better. It is important to continue washing your hands often during this time.

May be an image of one or more people and text that says 'BEST PROTECTION Wash your hands thoroughly & often'
