What is norovirus and who can get it?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), noroviruses are actually a group of viruses that cause the “stomach flu,” or gastroenteritis. Recently, the term norovirus was approved as the official name for this group of viruses. Like all viral infections, noroviruses are not affected by treatment with antibiotics. Anyone can become infected with noroviruses. Because there are many different strains, long-term immunity to all noroviruses is impossible.
