Norovirus spreads very easily and quickly. The virus is shed in faeces and vomit, which can inadvertently make their way to your mouth and infect you. You can accidentally ingest the virus by touching contaminated surfaces or objects and putting your fingers in your mouth, by eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated, or by having direct contact with someone who is infected with norovirus.
