A member asked:
My husband has norovirus (i think). i have a real phobia of being sick. am i safe to sleep in the same bed? and if so, what precautions should i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, but...: Norovirus is one of the most infectious of all viruses. Sleeping in the same bed is very risky; if you are not (yet) immune to the strain he has, you'll probably get it. OTOH, just being in the same room with an infected person who vomits, or using the same toilet or kitchen, is high risk. So just being at home with him puts you at risk, and sleeping with him may not make much difference.
