About norovirus
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention previously issued a reminder
Norovirus is an RNA virus
Highly susceptible to mutation
New variants emerge every few years
Causes global or regional outbreaks
Norovirus belongs to the caliciviridae family and is one of the most common pathogens causing acute gastroenteritis. Norovirus has the characteristics of low infectious dose, long detoxification time, and strong resistance to the external environment, which is easy to cause gastroenteritis outbreaks in relatively closed environments such as schools and childcare institutions.
Norovirus infection can occur throughout the year
Every year from October to March
It is the season with a high incidence of norovirus infection
The incubation period for norovirus infection ranges from 12 hours to 72 hours, usually 24 hours to 48 hours. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and some patients have headache, chills and muscle aches. Vomiting is predominantly in children, while diarrhoea is predominantly in adults, and stools are loose or watery.
Norovirus gastroenteritis
It is a self-limiting disease
There are currently no effective antiviral drugs
For example, due to frequent vomiting or diarrhea
When you have more severe symptoms such as dehydration
Prompt medical attention should be sought
