Surfaces can get contaminated with norovirus in many ways, including when:

• An infected person touches the surface with their bare hands that have feces or vomit particles on them
• An infected person vomits or has diarrhea that splatters onto surfaces
• Food, water, or objects that are contaminated with norovirus are placed on surfaces
• Tiny particles of vomit spray through the air and land on surfaces or enter a person’s mouth, then he or she swallows it

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says each year norovirus causes about 900 deaths, usually among those 65 and older; 109,000 hospitalizations; and 465,000 emergency room visits, mostly from children. 

Norovirus symptoms usually hit 12 hours to two days after infection and hang around for one to three days. "Noravirus can cause health effects"
