Norovirus Activity

Norovirus activity has increased in Muskegon County and around the state in recent weeks. Norovirus causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramping which may last about 1 to 2 days. Norovirus is very contagious and can be easily spread through food, person-to-person contact, or by contaminated surfaces. Reduce your chance of getting sick by frequently washing your hands with soap and warm water (20 seconds).
