In addition to food, Norovirus is spread via aerosols and contact transmission. What is meant by this description? Can you think of environments in which Norovirus is especially worrisome?

Answer:

Aerosol transmission refers to the spread of Norovirus through small particles of the virus that can be released into the air when an infected person vomits or defecates. Contact transmission refers to the spread of the virus through direct contact with contaminated surfaces, objects, or infected persons. Environments in which Norovirus is especially worrisome include crowded places such as schools, daycare centers, cruise ships, and nursing homes, where the virus can easily spread from person to person or through contaminated surfaces.
