Norovirus cases on the rise in Wisconsin; what you need to know
MILWAUKEE – Health experts say a new strain of the norovirus has cases surging across Wisconsin. Norovirus is very contagious and presents symptoms you often associate with the stomach bug.
Common symptoms of norovirus include vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
Over the last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded ten outbreaks in Wisconsin. Symptoms usually start one or two days after exposure.
How it spreads
According to the CDC, you can get norovirus by:
- Having direct contact with someone with norovirus, like caring for them, sharing food or eating utensils with them, or eating food handled by them.
- Eating food or drinking liquids that are contaminated with norovirus.
- Touching contaminated objects or surfaces and then putting your unwashed fingers in your mouth.
Additionally, you can still spread norovirus for two weeks or more after you feel better, the CDC says.
How can I protect myself?
Frequent handwashing, handling and preparing food safely, and scrubbing surfaces with household disinfectants can help. The CDC says hand sanitizer does not work well against norovirus.
Additionally, health experts advise that you wash laundry in hot water.

'It's been absolutely insane': Wisconsin natives closely monitor devastating wildfires in California
LOS ANGELES — The massive wildfires that started in the Highlands of the Pacific Palisades may seem far from Wisconsin. However, some people from Southeast Wisconsin are facing the horrific sights of the deadly fires.
“Just picture palm trees on fire, ash blowing all around, and orange smoke everywhere,” said Milwaukee native Brooke Bayer.
Bayer moved to the Los Angeles area to work for Warner Bros. She said the typically sunny skies outside the studio are now filled with black and orange clouds.
“When you’re not here and you’re not in it, you’re like, ‘Oh, wow, that sucks, there’s a fire. You know, that’s a bummer.’ But when you’re actually here, you’re like, ‘Wow, that’s my friend’s house on fire. It really just hits home,’” Bayer explained.
