Norovirus is becoming a real concern at the Johnson County Healthcare Center in Buffalo. Here are some tips to stay safe.

Norovirus is spreading in our community. Here’s how to protect yourself and others:

🧼 Wash your hands with soap and water — hand sanitizer does not kill norovirus
🏠 Stay home if you’re sick and for 48 hours after symptoms have resolved

These small steps make a big difference in keeping our community healthy. Thank you for doing your part.
