You must wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
But, washing with soap and warm water won't kill the virus! When done properly, the virus gets removed by being washed away.
Importantly (& a huge inconvenience), #norovirus IS NOT DESTROYED BY HAND SANITIZER. YOU MUST WASH YOUR HANDS with soap & water for a min of 20 secs.
It can survive freezing for months as well as heat up to 145F (the max temp of many home dishwashers 😖), so what do you do? /4
