The Kerala government on Sunday confirmed two cases of Norovirus in children. Said to be 'highly contagious', the Norovirus spreads through contaminated water and food. In view of the aggressive nature of the virus, the Kerala government has urged people to maintain hygiene.
"Norovirus infection has been detected in two children and their health condition is stable. There is no need to be concerned at the moment but everyone should remain careful and maintain cleanliness," Kerala health minister Veena George told news agency PTI.
