Norovirus is a highly contagious winter vomiting bug that causes symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. It can spread through contact with contaminated water sources, shellfish, surfaces, or people. The only treatment is adequate hydration, and people should stay home from work or school until symptoms subside to avoid spreading the virus, which is commonly transmitted through poor hand washing.
