Flu season seems to be upon us and AHS has provided some information about norovirus including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment & prevention.
Keep your child at home while they are sick for a few days after feeling better. This is when the virus most likely can be spread to others.
If you had diarrhea caused by norovirus, you should stay home for 2 to 3 days after your symptoms end before going back to work or school. This will help prevent spread of the virus.
Use soap and water to wash your hands often. (Alcohol-based hand sanitizers do not kill noroviruses.) It is especially important to wash your hands after using the toilet and before handling food.
