Posted: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 12:30 pm
The Montana State Public Health Laboratory has confirmed three positive cases of Norovirus in Richland County on Monday. This virus easily spreads from person to person; therefore the Richland County Health Department is urging residents to follow precautions in preventing further cases.
Norovirus is usually spread from contact with an infected person ? even by being near someone while they are vomiting. Viruses can be spread by touching a contaminated surface like a door knob, contact with an infected person's stool or vomit, or by eating or drinking contaminated food or water. Avoid hand to mouth or nose contact as this is how the virus enters the body.
