Touching surfaces or objects that contain the virus particles and then touching your mouth could also set off the infection.

Furthermore, eating food that’s been prepared or handled by someone with the bug also poses a risk.

The health service also warns that alcohol hand gels won’t kill norovirus, so don’t rely on your antibacterial gel to do the trick.
