HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is normally transmitted by the fecal oral route.
It is possible that he was infected from another food source or he came into to contact with another person with the infection.
Appropriate hand washing would help to reduce the risk of any other household members becoming infected.
I hope this helps
