Can you prevent the spread of rotavirus?

Good hygiene

Good hygiene is the most important way of preventing the spread of rotavirus.

Make sure everyone in your family or household washes their handsafter:
  • using the toilet
  • hanging nappies
  • handling soiled clothing and linen
  • cleaning up diarrhoea or vomit
  • assisting children with going to the toilet
Also make sure they wash their hands before:
  • preparing food and drink
  • eating
  • smoking
You can also prevent the spread of rotavirus by:
  • washing linen and clothing soiled with diarrhoea and vomit on as hot a wash as possible
  • keeping soiled washing away form the rest of your washing
  • cleaning toilet seats, flush handles, door handles and taps with soapy water or disinfectant
  • cleaning toilets and potties with bleach after use
If your child has the symptoms of rotavirus gastroenteritis, keep them away from other children until 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
