A member asked:
You say that noro virus can stay in the carpet for up to 12 days but does the infected person had to have vomited on the carpet for that to be the case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Noro virus can be spread through fomites and aerosols. The latter may settle on any objects, including carpets.
