Many children in a kindergarten in Inner Mongolia vomited after being infected with Norovirus. How to prevent this disease?

Cutting off the route of transmission, paying attention to personal hygiene and ensuring food safety can prevent norovirus infection.

Cutting off the transmission route is the main way to prevent norovirus infection, so before prevention, we must first understand its transmission route. Norovirus can be transmitted by caliber, and food and water are important sources of infection. After these foods and water are infected with norovirus, people will be infected with the virus after eating them. In addition, excreta or vomit discharged by infected people is also an important source of infection. After people are exposed to these sources of infection, they will be infected with viruses, and then the articles and appliances used. Or there will be viruses in the air near the vomit, which will also cause infection after human contact. Cutting off these sources of infection and doing personal protection can prevent norovirus infection.

Norovirus infection can cause diarrhea and is a self-limiting disease. Until now, there is no good specific drug prevention, and there is no vaccine. Therefore, it is an effective way to prevent the disease by doing personal hygiene well and cutting off the route of transmission. After knowing its transmission route, you should do personal protection and don't touch those patients at ordinary times. If you go out, try to wear a mask and wash your hands carefully after you go home to prevent yourself from being infected by virus residues on the skin surface.

If someone around you is infected with norovirus, you should keep your distance from him, never touch his vomit or excrement, let alone use the articles and utensils he has touched, and don't get too close to him when he is sick and vomiting. It is best to wear a mask to protect yourself from the aerosol generated by its vomit, causing the spread of the virus and making yourself infected by the virus. People infected with norovirus should be treated in isolation to avoid spreading to more people and prevent the disease from spreading in a large area.

Paying attention to food safety is also an effective way to prevent norovirus infection. In our daily life, we must eat completely cooked food, and try not to eat raw food, let alone eat it. Seafood that is not fully cooked should be cooked raw and cooked separately to avoid cross-infection, prevent human body from being infected with norovirus and safeguard human health.
