There is no vaccine for norovirus, although scientists
are working on it. These are the main ways to prevent it:
 Practice proper hand hygiene. Careful hand washing
with soap and water, especially after using the toilet,
changing diapers, and always before eating or
preparing food, is critically important.
 Handle and prepare food safely. DO NOT prepare
food or care for others if you are sick. Wash fruits,
vegetables and cook seafood thoroughly before
eating. Sick food service employees in restaurants,
schools, daycares, and long-term care facilities
should not return to work until at least two days
after symptoms resolve.
 Clean and disinfect surfaces. Use proper cleaning
technique (e.g., clean to dirty, top to bottom)
and follow label instructions of an EPA-registered
disinfectant with efficacy against norovirus. Ensure
surfaces stay wet for the contact time listed on the
product label, and use disposable cleaning cloths
unless using pre-moistened disinfecting wipes.
If using a diluted product, prepare solution daily
and ensure concentration is correct. Care should
be taken to ensure correct concentration and
fresh solutions (mixed with water only) should be
prepared daily.
 Wash laundry with precautions. If an item has been
contaminated with feces or vomit and cannot be
disposed of, wear gloves to handle contaminated
item and take care not to agitate it before placing
it in the laundry. Run washer and dryers on their
longest cycles, consider using a laundry sanitizer or
disinfectant as an additive. Wash hands immediately
and thoroughly after handling a contaminated load.
It’s also a good practice to clean and disinfect all
surfaces that may have come in contact with the
contaminated item or hands.
