Monica Hayes According to this article in the Journal of Infectious Disease, Norovirus can be spread by the aerosolization of feces and vomit on surfaces. Aerosolization of vomit and feces has been demonstrated to be of major importance in norovirus outbreaks [13]. Even viruses aerosolized from flushing a toilet can contaminate surfaces throughout a bathroom [14]. Once a fomes is contaminated, transfer to hands and other animate objects can readily occur [15]. The more confined the space (eg, most bathrooms), the more intense would be the “fallout” [13]. jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2012/04/19/infdis.jis250.full
