Reducing the Risk of Norovirus Infection

Because one outbreak can change everything

If you run a care business, you know how fast illness can spread—and how hard it is to stop once it does. Norovirus is especially tough. One sick person can quickly turn into staff calling out, worried families, and vulnerable clients at serious risk. With no vaccine available, prevention is your best protection.

This course helps your team understand what they’re dealing with and what actually works. In just 25 minutes, caregivers learn how norovirus spreads, why it’s so hard to kill, what symptoms to watch for, and the simple steps that can stop it before it becomes an outbreak.

More than anything, this training helps you feel prepared. Your staff knows what to do, your clients are better protected, and you’re not left reacting after the damage is done. It’s a small investment of time that can prevent big disruptions—and give you peace of mind during high-risk situations.
