In most of the developed countries, Norovirus is considered as the cause of acute gastroen-teritis in the all age group and the main cause of foodborne illness. Majority of the norovirus outbreaks occur in health care settings (including long-term care facilities and hospi-tals), where the virus is predominantly spread from person to person. This guideline is for help to control the spread of viral gastroenteritis (norovirus) in the nursing homes or other health care settings and It can be useful learning material in the school. This guidebook can also be used for infection prevention by staff members, physicians, health care epidemiologists, health care administrators, nurses, students, other health care providers, and persons who are responsible for developing, implementing, and evaluating infection prevention and control programs for health care settings. The doc-ument can also be used as a resource for societies and organizations that wish to de-velop more implementation guidance for prevention and control of norovirus gastroen-teritis outbreaks in the long-term care or other health care settings. This is a function framework thesis based on our theoretical findings as well as follow-ing the principles of the Medical Education Guide to create our guide for Norovirus Prevention and Control Guide, the document contains clear and comprehensive infor-mation which is easy to understand
