A member asked:

Can you catch noro from walking past vomit? how long after is it safe to walk by? worried about noro virus

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: Norovirus won't jump out and grab you; you have to reach out and grab it. However, one shouldn't touch her shoes and then put her fingers into her mouth... that would be a bad idea. Good handwashing will save you most of the time.
