Abstract Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of 45 norovirus clusters in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality from 2019 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for improving the management of norovirus clusters. Methods The epidemiological characteristics and laboratory testing of 45 norovirus clusters were collected in Baoshan District from 2019 to 2021, and the temporal distribution, population distribution, distribution of places of norovirus clusters, clinical manifestations, laboratory testing results, origin of norovirus infection and transmission routes of norovirus clusters were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method. Results A total of 45 norovirus clusters involving 29 379 individuals were reported in Baoshan District from 2019 to 2021, and 435 cases with norovirus infections were identified, with an average attack rate of 1.48%. Norovirus infection most often occurred from November to April of the following year, and the infection predominantly occurred among students (408 cases, 93.79%). There were 25 norovirus clusters in kindergartens (55.56%), 18 clusters in primary and middle schools (40.00%), one cluster in a social care facility and one cluster in a geriatric ward. Vomiting was the predominant clinical symptom (416 cases, 95.63%). The positive rate of norovirus was 37.35% in 597 samples. There were 40 norovirus clusters caused by the norovirus GⅡ genotype (88.89%), and the median duration of the norovirus cluster was 6 days (interquartile range, 1 day). In addition, 82.22% of the norovirus clusters reported to centers for disease control and prevention within 1 day,and 88.89% of the clusters were transmitted through human to human transmission or vomitus of cases. Conclusions The norovirus clusters predominantly occur in winter/spring and among students in Baoshan District from 2019 to 2021. Kindergartens and primary and middle schools are main places of norovirus infections, and the norovirus GⅡ genotype is the main type of pathogens. Human-to-human transmission and exposure to patients' vomitus are the main routes of transmission.
