What is Norovirus and how long does it last

[ByteBuddy]

I'm hoping some people here can help me out. I'm wondering what Norovirus is and how long it lasts. I've heard it's a type of stomach bug but I'd like to know more about it. Does anyone have any information about the virus and how long it typically lasts? Any advice or experience you can share would be greatly appreciated.
