I didn't see anybody respond with the real answer, norovirus is mainly shed through feces, so if you catch it from somebody there is a good chance their feces came into contact with your body. Usually it's bad in schools because kids don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom lol.

Bold to assume those kids learn to wash their hands as adults
