Hi Ian
Norovirus is normally not deadly. However, it can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
Importantly, it is highly contagious because only a small number of virus particles can cause an infection.
It is transmitted by the oral-fecal route, meaning a person ingests norovirus from a contaminated surface (such as food, water, hands, etc) that is contaminated with human feces.
