Avoiding or treating norovirus and d&v?

[MrsFogi]

So it seems the hotel we are going to next week has had a massive outbreak of norovirus or d&v for the last few weeks (not great!). Can anyone suggest what we can do to minimise our chances of catching the bugs? And, in case we fail, what drugs I should be bringing with us (for adults and the dcs) just in case.....

In your position I'd take a bleach cleaning spray and wipe over all places where people touch on arrival - door handles, taps, remote control...as much as I could really. And put bleach all over the sink/bath/shower.
But that's just me, because I've had noro and would do anything to avoid getting it again. I would take dioralyte, paracetamol and vaseline for sore bums

Ecohydra is a hand sanitizer from Boots that is effective against norovirus

Surely a hotel with a norovirus outbreak is closed? Personally I would stay somewhere else.

I'd take zoflora/bleach/sanitizer/anti bac wipes. Everything needs cleaned in the room. And I would spray diluted zoflora over carpets, chairs, mattress, bedding.
Or stay somewhere else.

Thanks for the advice - I'd love to stay somewhere else but the (expensive) holiday is all paid for and it seems that in France norovirus is no barrier to making money in ski season.

The complex we stayed at in October half term in Rhodes had an outbreak in the month before we went. But we were fine and I didn't see or hear about anyone else being ill while we were there. I didn't bother bleaching stuff or whatever. The fact is if you're going to get it you'll get it. Where did you hear about this outbreak? Chances are it has been exaggerated and is only a few people.
