As WD's doctor says wash your hands - WITH soap (lose the sanitizer) long time.

You indirectly injest feces that has the virus.
Oh man that's nasty stuff. "Fecal Oral" mmmmmmmm. Yep proper hand washing goes a long way towards prevention. Disclaimer:/ the following is not medical advice even if it looks like it is. If they aren't already doing it, see if he's using a good probiotic to rebuild/mantain gut health. Kefir is terrible tasting stuff but a great probiotic. Greek yogurt is also a good one. Out of the box it seems Florastor (Saccharomyces boulardii) is the preferred because it's yeast based and isn't supposed to be affected by antibiotics.

Hope your dad makes a full recovery.
