๐ Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds after using the toilet, travelling on public transport, and before meals. ๐ A little bit of soap and water goes a long way in stopping the spread and keeping those around you safe!

๐ฅ Norovirus, or the winter vomiting bug, is infamous for causing nausea, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. It’s spread easily through contact with infected individuals, contaminated surfaces, food, and water.

๐ Recovery is usually straightforward with proper care. Remember to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and manage your symptoms. Keep infected rooms well-ventilated and disinfect surfaces with household bleach to reduce the chance of spreading.
๐งผ Keep cleanliness a priority, and if symptoms persist, a visit to the pharmacist or GP can help guide your recovery.
Let’s work together to keep ourselves and each other healthy! ๐ง๐
