4 years ago •source rit.edu
Rochester Institute of Technology, 14623 New York, United States
The Monroe County Department of Public Health has determined norovirus is likely responsible for recent illnesses on the Henrietta campus of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).The university is already increasingly stringent deep cleaning and sanitation efforts on high-touch surfaces in residence halls, dining areas, restrooms, and other spaces across campus.
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.
In case you are experiencing food poisoning symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
