If you’re suffering from stomach flu it would be best to avoid touching food that isn’t meant for you. In majority of cases, noroviruses and rotaviruses is passed through the fecal-oral route.

When someone who is sick or carries the viruses responsible for the disease handles food you eat without washing his or her hands after using the toilet, the chances of them passing the illness is high.

Using gloves when handling food is also a good way of preventing the spread of the disease but proper handwashing works better. But while proper hand washing prevents the transmission of the disease better, leaving the task of preparing food to others while you are sick is still the best option.
