Abstract
This study provides a concise overview of Norovirus infection, delving into its symptoms, transmission, prevention strategies, and available treatments. Norovirus, a highly contagious virus affecting the digestive system, manifests through symptoms such as severe vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Its rapid transmission occurs through contaminated food or water, direct contact, or contact with contaminated surfaces. Prevention measures include rigorous hand hygiene, food safety practices, environmental cleaning, and isolation of infected individuals. Treatment involves fluid replacement, rest, and, if necessary, over-the-counter medications. This abstract emphasizes the importance of awareness and preventive actions to curb the spread of Norovirus and mitigate its impact on public health.
