🦠Norovirus is an extremely contagious illness that is currently circulating around our province. Symptoms commonly include nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, and can also cause fever or chills.🤒
❤️🩹Like many fast-spreading viruses, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hand sanitizer does not kill Norovirus, so the best practice is to wash hands frequently with hot water and soap. Countertops, desks, doorknobs, and other surfaces should also be wiped down frequently with bleach. When flushing the toilet, please remember to put the lid down first which helps prevent the spread of not only Norovirus, but many other germs.🚽
