Norovirus: Of course it is normal to be worried about catching norovirus. You can reduce anxiety about it by standard methods of prevention, e.g. proper disinfection, hand washing after contact with those with symptoms, etc. Also, you might not get it or only mildly. Since you apparently had it recently, you may be partly immune. Those with recent norovirus are less susceptible or often have milder symptoms.
