norovirus

Good morning!

As Norovirus cases continue to rise, I thought I would send a flyer with some preventative strategies to help decrease infection rates in our community. 

Norovirus causes diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain. It is a VERY contagious virus that spreads easily and quickly, causing common outbreaks.

As a reminder, hand sanitizer will NOT kill Norovirus. Solutions with bleach are best for cleaning surfaces and any vomit/feces. The number one way to prevent spread is to wash your hands with soap and water. 

Thank you,
