NOROVIRUS – What is it? Norovirus, sometimes known as the winter vomiting bug is the most common stomach bug in the UK, affecting people of all ages. Despite being known as the winter vomiting bug, vomiting and diarrhea caused by norovirus can and do occur in all seasons, the increases in outbreaks during the winter arises because people generally stay indoors and group together providing the ideal conditions for person to person transmission. As the name suggests it is a virus. The virus has the ability to remain infectious if it is not cleaned with a suitable product. In particular ordinary detergents do not kill the virus and their use with a mop and bucket will only serve to spread the virus around. Shellfish and salad ingredients are the foods most implicated in norovirus outbreaks. Ingestion of shellfish that have not been sufficiently heated poses a high risk of infection, other foods may be contaminated by food handlers.
NOROVIRUS - Who does it affect? Between 600,000 and 1 million people in the UK catch norovirus every year. The virus is easily transmitted from one person to another. It can be transmitted by contact with an infected person; by consuming contaminated food or water, or by contact with contaminated surfaces or objects. The infectious dose is very low, swallowing as few as 1-100 virus particles may be enough to cause illness. Norovirus often causes outbreaks because it is easily spread from one person to another and the virus is able to survive in the environment for many days. Outbreaks commonly occur in semi-closed environments such as hospitals, nursing homes and schools, where people are in close contact with one another for long periods.

Reported cases of Norovirus follow a predictable pattern. The graph above shows the number of incidents building as Autumn turns into Winter. Scientists aren’t precisely sure why the virus is so more active in winter, though it is thought the combination of people being gathered in confined spaces together with the lower temperatures and lower levels of sunlight, mean the viruses are broken down more slowly on contaminated hard surfaces like doorhandles, tables, toilet flushes and taps etc. During this period it is essential that all water washable surfaces in the highest risk areas are frequently cleaned and sanitised by Selgiene Extreme. This is particularly important in the care and education sectors, but businesses should also check their cleaning regimes and take precautions to reduce their potential to loss of staff through illness.
