Sushi Nine in Raleigh, NC linked to Norovirus Outbreak

4 months ago •source www.wake.gov

Outbreak

Wake County Public Health and Wake County Environmental Services are investigating a Norovirus outbreak linked to the Sushi Nine restaurant located at 3812 Western Blvd, Raleigh, NC. To date, 3 cases of the virus have been confirmed and all of them are now recovering. The source is … See More
not yet identified, it appears that those who reported falling ill consumed an array of menu items, making it impossible to determine a single point of contamination – a common characteristic of norovirus outbreaks.

The first report of illness connected to the restaurant came on Dec. 1, launching an immediate investigation. Subsequent reports to Wake County’s Public Health Communicable Disease team brought the total number of related complaints to 241, all from patrons who visited the restaurant between Nov. 28 and Dec. 5. Stool samples, the sole definitive test for norovirus, were requested of each complainant; only 3 sets of results have returned so far, all positive for the virus.

Sushi Nine voluntarily closed for deep cleaning on Dec. 5. An environmental health consultant has since inspected the establishment daily and confirmed no new complaints since the restaurant reopened on Dec. 8.

Wake County strongly advises anyone who visited Sushi Nine within the Nov. 28 to Dec. 5 timeframe to monitor their health closely. While norovirus is highly infectious and presents symptoms rapidly after exposure, it is usually self-limiting within several days.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care

Woodland Meadows Elementary School in Saline, MI linked to Norovirus outbreak

4 months ago •source www.mlive.com

Outbreak

Saline Area Schools (SAS); Woodland Meadows Elementary, had to shut down due to a suspected norovirus outbreak, which has caused gastroenteritis in an alarming number of students last week.

The worrying increase in gastroenteritis cases at Woodland Meadows Elementary School, primarily among second-grade students, prompted officials to … See More
take measures to contain the outbreak. After a meticulous analysis of reported illness, school authorities, in collaboration with Washtenaw County Health Department, made the decision to shut the school down temporarily.

The source of the outbreak was a challenge to track since norovirus, the identified pathogen, is a common cause of gastroenteritis and spreads easily. This ubiquitous virus is typically transmitted through contaminated surfaces, direct person-to-person contact, or via food. The problem was eventually discovered following unexpected sick leaves recorded among the students, specifically second graders.

The closure is aimed at 'breaking the cycle' during the typical incubation period and to allow for extensive cleaning efforts across the school facility. Simultaneously, the officials are working on the next steps to safeguard the health of the students, staff, and the wider community.

Children and staff have been advised to stay home until 48 hours after the symptoms have subsided to prevent further transmission of the gastrointestinal illness. Norovirus symptoms typically include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping, low-grade fever, headache, weakness, and muscle aches, lasting 1 to 2 days. The school is set to reopen once the situation is under control and health standards are met.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care

Increase of norovirus cases in Ireland

4 months ago •source www.hpsc.ie

Outbreak

The Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) reports a significant increase in Norovirus cases, a prevalent cause of gastroenteritis, in Ireland. The data shows the number of cases tripling to over 30 per week in November.

In the second half of November, the HPSC registered an unusual increase … See More
in the number of weekly Norovirus notifications. Alongside these reported cases, a surge in Norovirus outbreaks in healthcare settings - notably hospitals and nursing homes - has compounded the situation. The predominant strain involved is identified as GII.4, notorious since 2012 due to its enhanced capability to cause outbreaks.

The HPSC advises health practitioners to be alert to possible Norovirus contamination in vomitus and implement stringent cleaning protocols for affected areas. The public is urged to uphold basic hygiene measures including frequent hand washing with soap and water, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and disinfecting potentially contaminated objects. The HPSC emphasizes the importance of individuals staying off work or school until at least 48 hours after the symptoms have passed to prevent further transmission of the virus.

Norovirus is very contagious and is easily transmitted from person to person most through the oral/fecal route. Considering that hand sanitizer does NOT work against this virus, it is important to wash your hands with soap frequently. Use bleach to clean and disinfect surfaces.

In case you experience Norovirus symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care

reported.

Further investigation revealed that the outbreak was associated with a specific event, "$1 Burrito for Northwestern Students", hosted at Big Wig Tacos & Burritos on Church St, Evanston on November 18, 2023, between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Affected individuals reported stomach discomfort, vomiting, and diarrhea within 12 to 48 hours after consumption from the taco joint. In the light of these reports, EHHS, on Nov. 19, conducted an inspection of the establishment where they confirmed the existence of an employee health policy and cleaning procedures.

Upon discovery of the outbreak, the EHHS started a comprehensive probe jointly with Northwestern University. As part of the investigation, an online questionnaire has been circulated to collect additional data regarding this incident. All patrons, regardless of whether they experienced any symptoms, who attended the discount event are encouraged to fill out this form.

It spreads through direct contact with an infected person, contaminated food, water, and surfaces. To prevent further spread of this outbreak and protect yourself from norovirus, frequent handwashing with soap and water is recommended. Similarly, afflicted individuals should abstain from preparing food for others or working in a daycare center, healthcare facility, or food service establishment.

Suspected Norovirus outbreak linked to MLB GM meetings in Scottsdale, Arizona

Outbreak

Major League Baseball (MLB) terminated its annual General Manager (GM) meetings due to a suspected Norovirus outbreak at the Omni Montelucia Resort, Scottsdale, Arizona, that affected over 10% of the executives present.

The interruptions in the meetings commenced on Wednesday as a result of reported illnesses that … See More
initially seemed like food poisoning from Tuesday's buffet. However, the cause has now been traced to the highly infectious Norovirus, realizing that several affected individuals had not consumed the suspect meal. The Norovirus, notorious for being primarily spread via direct contact, can also spread through contaminated food, surfaces, and water.

The outbreak was discovered when illnesses were reported on the opening night and more cases emerged on Wednesday afternoon. This situation prompted the league to discontinue the meetings scheduled to end on Thursday morning. Nearly every team had reported at least one illness, with notable afflictions from members of New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman’s staff and at least eight individuals from the league office.

The general managers meetings often act as the unofficial start to the off-season in baseball, which makes its premature conclusion impactful to consequent events. This outbreak has inevitably enforced modifications to the subsequent agents meetings, which will now be held over Zoom.

Norovirus is very contagious and is easily transmitted from person to person most through the oral/fecal route. Considering that hand sanitizer does NOT work against this virus, it is important to wash your hands with soap frequently. Use bleach to clean and disinfect surfaces.
