Protecting others from the norovirus is important as it can
spread dramatically and quickly through public and private areas. The infected
person can contaminate bathrooms, work areas, hand rails, door knobs and light
switches as they walk through any area. This infection causes almost 200,000
deaths every year!
It can spread by:
-
Drinking or eating anything infected with
norovirus
-
Touching any object or surface contaminated with
norovirus and then putting hand or fingers in mouth or eating food with
contaminated hands
-
Direct contact with norovirus infected person,
e.g. while working around them or sharing items with them. (phones, key boards
or desks)
How to clear
Norovirus at work place
Good hygiene helps in avoiding norovirus along with various
other infections. Only one person infected with norovirus at a work place can
lead to a spread if not taken care of properly!
Steps to eliminate norovirus from workplace include:
-
Promote hygienic practices like:
o
Washing hands after using toilet
o
Washing hands before eating
o
Disposing off contaminated items properly
-
Hand sanitizer should be in all work areas
-
Give a leave to anyone having norovirus so that
not only they can recover well but also to stop transmission of infection to
others
-
Disinfect and clean the floors and surfaces with
detergent and chlorine bleach after someone at work place is found to have
norovirus infection (757) 535-4367
Norovirus can survive for weeks on a hard surface and
therefore care should be taken to prevent the spread of its infection!
