The Health Department of Northwest Michigan staff are warning residents of several Norovirus outbreaks occurring in the area and are offering precautionary measures to keep summer dining experiences safe.The Health Department advises that you can help protect yourself and others from norovirus by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water. You should also avoid preparing food for others, working in a daycare center, health care facility or food service establishment if you have gastrointestinal symptoms.
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 vomiting, diarrhea, and nausea, report it now. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
