Suspected Norovirus Outbreak - Olive Garden, Florence Kentucky

7844 Mall Road, Florence, 41042 Kentucky, United States
Sunday Feb 25 till present Suspect is poor kitchen hygiene. We had 4 families at the restaurant and 6 out of 12 came down with symptoms within 24 hours. 3 more contracted within 24 more hours. One was an 11 month old that had nothing to eat but was passed around as babies usually are. Food and service was very good. We contacted the restaurant and they were sympathetic and gave us a 100 dollar gift card but we will not be going back. I feel that since we had different entrees and since a baby contracted it, the problem could be hygiene problems in the kitchen or kitchen staff with the suspect being a norovirus. I also noted that this was reported 3 weeks ago so I would hope the restaurant receives a thorough cleaning(disinfection) and retraining of staff. I would bet there are many cases not reported. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Stomach Pain

I ate at the same Olive Garden on March 15 and got some kind of poisoning. I had two trips to the emergency room and was hospitalized after the second ER visit. I became very sick I am still recovering because it increased my liver enzymes to an extreme level.
I reported it to the Boone County Health Department. Please also contact them. They told me no one else had reported anything.
