Norovirus levels in Bay Area wastewater are increasing, reflecting a rise in contagions, particularly in San Jose, Palo Alto, and Santa Cruz, as per Stanford's monitoring.
The CDC notes that norovirus typically spikes from November to April, primarily spread through close contact with infected individuals and contaminated food, water or surfaces.
Washing hands thoroughly with soap and water is crucial to prevent the spread of norovirus, as hand sanitizer is ineffective against this virus.
While most will recover from norovirus within three days, it remains severe for certain demographics, causing an average of 900 deaths annually in the U.S.
