A member asked:
Can someone transmit the norovirus in their saliva after having been 2 weeks symptom-free?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Norovirus: Norovirus can be shed for 2 weeks after recovering. It is unclear if the particles are contagious but would be cautious. Also note the disease can be spread by contact with infected surfaces. . https://www.cdc.gov/norovirus/hcp/clinical-overview.html
