Norovirus Awareness

Norovirus, the “winter vomiting bug”, spreads very easily and can quickly cause outbreaks in care homes, hospitals, schools, hotels and food businesses. Learn the symptoms, how it spreads, the 48-hour rule, how to prevent dehydration, and the cleaning and hand hygiene steps that stop it in its tracks.

This course provides general infection prevention awareness only. Always follow your organisation’s infection control and outbreak policies, and advice from your local health protection team or environmental health service.
