A member asked:
What is considerd "close contact" when it comes to norovirus? if someone breathes on you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breathing - no.: Norovirus is spread through vomit and feces. And may be spread for a few weeks after the illness. There is no precise definition of close contact, but if you have potential to contact said secretions you are close enough.
