    Can you get some Lysol III and spray the common areas (light switches, fax/copy machines, phones, etc) and your desk? Doing the cleaning yourself may help with your anxiety.

    First of all, it could be ANYTHING. Something she ate, could she be pregnant?, etc. People v* for a variety of reasons. Secondly, if it IS Noro, given the timing she got it over the weekend. Does she have children? Perhaps she got it off of one of them. She wouldn't have been contagious until she began to show symptoms, so your work space is TOTALLY safe. Before she comes to work next she'll have showered and be 100% clean. You really don't have to worry. When she does return I'm sure she won't be at your desk, sharing your things! If anything just be extra diligent in the shared restroom spaces to scrub up well. That's it!

    I did a lot of cleaning today but I'm still worried it was too late for that

    She may not have a bug. Try not to worry and have a clove or two of raw garlic to keep the virus away you'll be fine <3 xx
