U.S. – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced this week that several U.S. laboratories reported an increase in Norovirus infections.
A CDC spokesperson, said, “In the United States, cases of norovirus occur most frequently during late fall, winter, and early spring. There may be variation in the timing of cases between regions and between communities in the same region.” Adding, “Norovirus is the leading cause of vomiting and diarrhea, and foodborne illness in the United States. People of all ages can get infected and sick with norovirus, which spreads very easily and quickly.”
The most common symptoms of norovirus are:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Stomach pain
Other symptoms include:
- Fever
- Headache
- Body aches
Symptoms typically present themselves within 48 hours of contracting the virus. Most individuals will begin to feel better in two or three days, however, the virus remains extremely contagious for up to two weeks after recovery.
