    Question Worries about handshaking?

    Hi, my first day of high school tday was bad (for other reasons) but we had to do a thing where we touched random peoples hands and that was your partner. And teachers handshaking, ALL DAY. I'm kind of freaked out that i touched my face/glasses and gonna get noro but i'm doing my breathing, i just need some reassurance.
    Do you guys think i'd get sick from this? Thank you for reading! Hope you guys are all good!

    You could only get noro from hand to hand contact if someone you were with was actively sick that day and did not wash their hands after using the bathroom. You would then have to touch them and put your hands in your mouth to contract the virus. If neither of the above occurred there is zero chance you will get noro from your day at school.
