My whole family is going through a second out of gastrointestional virus. is it common to reinfected with this?

Hand hygiene?: Either a different type of GI infection is sweeping through the house, or else, there is a recurrent infection that may be due less the optimal hand hygiene, with transfer of the offending agent via an object (also known as a fomite). Recommend seeing your doctor so that tests can be done to determine what organism you are dealing with exactly.
