TL;DR

The CDC has reported a spike in Norovirus cases, particularly in Wisconsin and Minnesota, with the Mayo Clinic reporting a 10% positivity rate for the virus. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, typically lasting for a day or two. Health professionals advise seeking medical attention if unable to drink water after 24 hours. Norovirus spreads through person-to-person contact, food, and water, and is difficult to kill. Prevention measures include handwashing, surface disinfection, and hot water in laundry, with hand sanitizer as a supplement to handwashing.
