Hello welcome to HMC
noro virus infections are not so serious as you think. these infections occurs mostly in crowded places like hospitals,nursing homes, schools. in most of the
patients it gets cured unless it has complications like severe dehydration,fatigue, dizziness. it is highly contagious infection. close contact with patient can also spread the infection. hope i have answered your question, if you have further questions i will be happy to help.
