MCQ
The most effective hand-hygiene measure against norovirus is:
- A. Alcohol-based hand sanitiser applied liberally
- B. Antibacterial hand wipes after contact
- C. Rinsing the hands with warm water
- D. Handwashing with soap and water
- E. Gargling with an antiseptic mouthwash
Show answer
Correct answer: D
Handwashing with soap and water is more effective than alcohol hand sanitiser against norovirus, because the non-enveloped virus resists alcohol; sanitiser is only an adjunct.

Wipes, water alone and mouthwash do not reliably remove the virus from the hands.
