Over the last month, norovirus has been circulating in the Northeast at the highest rates since April of last year. The region has been seeing over 13% of norovirus tests come back positive, on average, since late January, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s a higher share than in any other part of the U.S. right now, but lower than the region’s rate at this time last year. Norovirus is somewhat seasonal — cases occur most frequently in cold months .
Norovirus spreads easily on hands and surfaces — just a few particles are enough to make someone sick, and people with the illness shed billions of virus particles in their stool and vomit. The virus can linger on objects and surfaces for days or even weeks. An infected person can transmit norovirus even after feeling better, potentially for up to two weeks, according to the CDC. The virus also spreads via contaminated food, which is why it is sometimes referred to as “food poisoning.
