What is the most effective way to deactivate the norovirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Norovirus: Norovirus doesn't get deactivated. You wait it out. There is no specific treatment or medication for Norovirus. Hydrate well with non-caffeinated fluids. If one is becoming dehydrated consider use of electrolyte fluids. Stay home until symptom-free for at least 48 hours.
