Seattle & King County Public Health announced that they are investigating an outbreak of norovirus-like illness with vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, and chills linked to Resonate Brewery & Pizzeria located at 5606 119th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98006.
Since October 18, 2021, 12 people from two unrelated meal parties reported becoming ill after consuming food from Resonate Brewery & Pizzeria on October 15, 2021, and 2 cases that are employees of the restaurant reported becoming ill on October 16, 2021. No hospitalizations or death are reported at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
On October 19, the restaurant closed voluntarily to conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfection. All ready-to-eat foods processed before the restaurant was disinfected were discarded. The restaurant was reopened on October 20.
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. Use bleach to clean and disinfect surfaces.
In case you are experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, and chills 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.
