Cruise Ship Norovirus targets Hotels

Hotels have recently fallen victim to the infamous norovirus that has been known to plague Cruise ship passengers for years.

The outbreaks began after Christmas, when 60 people in Madison, Wisconsin fell ill after attending a party at a hotel convention center.

Most recently, the Hilton Washington Dulles Airport hotel (long name I know..) was hit with the virus causing the hotel to shut down for a thorough cleaning. In this incident, 120 people became sick from the virus.

The best way to protect yourself from catching this disease is to never come in contact with other people. Since I’m hoping that’s not possible, the second best way is to just wash your hands and stay clean. This particular virus originates from infected food, then spreads through person to person contact. So wash your hands, avoid people, and don’t have bad luck and you’ll be fine staying in hotels.
