Noro virus - would you go in?

Someone in my office came down with suspected noro this weekend, someone else on the same trip did too but is now on leave. The other person is due in tomorrow, stopped being sick Sunday morning but had a dodgy tummy yesterday and feeling fine today. How much of a risk is it at that stage, or not contagious anymore?
I'm 6 months pregnant and had a few issues in the pregnancy already so really want to avoid catching noro!

Would you go in or work from home? (My work don't mind me working from home whenever I want)

Norovirus can live on surfaces for a while so if you can, stay home!

100% work from home !! Even if not pregnant , I wouldn’t be going anywhere near my office if there was a noro outbreak

The rule is 48 hours from last symptom! Dodgy tummy being a symptom. I wouldn’t go anywhere near. If they had a dodgy stomach yesterday they are still likely contagious tomorrow.

Definitely avoid!

I had noro at 13 weeks, caught probably in hospital at a scan. I would work from home until all your colleagues are 48h symptom free if you have the option - I was sicker with it than on previous bouts :/ Avoid if you can!

Thanks all, she'll then be off until I next see her Tuesday so for the sake of a day I'll work from home! Confirmed my thoughts just didn't want to think I'm just overreacting 😂
