Can the stomach flu be transmitted simply by touching a sheet of paper with the probability of the infected having washed their hands?

Infectious Norovirus: The germ that causes 'stomach flu' could well be norovirus. (I prefer to confirm that with a test). That bug is the one that knocks out cruise ships because one person gets it and spreads it to all the passengers on the boat. It can be recovered on dirty door knobs, etc. We call these surfaces 'fomites' -where a germ can hide. I DOUBT however a sheet of paper would be that effective for this virus
