Here are five ways to avoid norovirus:

1. Practice Good Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially after using the restroom, before eating, and after handling food. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
2. Proper Food Handling: Cook seafood, shellfish, and other potentially contaminated foods thoroughly. Wash fruits and vegetables before consuming them. Avoid preparing food for others if you are sick.
3. Clean and Disinfect Surfaces: Disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated with norovirus, such as countertops, doorknobs, and bathroom fixtures.
4. Practice Personal Hygiene: Avoid touching your face, especially your mouth, nose, and eyes, with unwashed hands. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing.
5. Stay Home When Sick: If you are experiencing symptoms of norovirus, such as vomiting and diarrhea, stay home to prevent spreading the virus to others. Avoid preparing food for others until you have fully recovered.

By following these preventive measures, you can reduce your risk of contracting norovirus and help prevent its spread to others.
