Noroviruses are a type of single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses belonging to the family Caliciviridae. They are highly contagious viruses whose main routes of transmission are: person-to-person contact and through contaminated food/water (in the U.S. is estimated that they account for 50% of gastrointestinal outbreaks by food poisoning). They often cause large outbreaks in closed communities in a variety of environments such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, kindergarten, restaurants, cruises,… where, once the virus has been introduced, the infection spreads very quickly.
