与过去十年相比，2020年澳大利亚维多利亚州肠道病毒和诺如病毒的发病率显著下降，这两种病毒都是通过粪便-口腔途径传播的。2020年肠道病毒标本阳性率下降84.2%，诺如病毒暴发阳性率下降49.0%。这些减少最有可能的解释是社会限制、物理距离、个人卫生意识以及为应对新冠肺炎大流行而进行的国际和国内边境剂量接种。
Significant reductions in the incidence of enteroviruses and noroviruses, both transmitted primarily by the faecal-oral route, were noted in 2020 compared to the previous decade, in Victoria, Australia. The enterovirus specimen positivity rate was reduced by 84.2% in 2020, while the norovirus outbreak positivity rate dedined by 49.0%. The most likely explanation for these reductions is the concurrence of social restrictions, physical distancing, personal hygiene awareness and international and domestic border dosures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
