    i have norovirus...

    I closed today because after the last kid left yesterday I got violently Ill.

    Fast forward 9 hours at the er, and dr says norovirus. This morning dbf has been having same symptoms now so I am obviously contagious.

    What do I do to prevent further spread? And how long do I close for?

    Any other advice?

    Straight from CDC Guide. Lysol, handwashing, washing daycare linens can't hurt. Standard Contact Precautions.


    Incubation:
    Varies with
    pathogen
    (pathogen is a
    disease-causing organism), usually
    1 to 5

    Transmission:
    Contact with stool, saliva
    or vomit from infected
    individual directly or from surfaces. Norovirus highly infectious; frequent cause
    of outbreaks

    Contagious:
    From 2 days before
    illness until vomiting
    and diarrhea improve

    Return:
    No fever or vomiting for
    24 hours and fewer than
    5 stools per day
    - Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

      :hug:

      Hugs to you! I had this last year, and was so sick and then very weak for a few weeks afterward. Take care of yourself!

        Does anyone have a recommendation on how to tell parents what I have and that I'll be closed the rest of the week?

        I usually just text but I suppose I should send them this info.
