The Teller Elementary in Denver has been temporarily closed due to a Norovirus outbreak. Over the past two days, the number of reported Norovirus cases among students and members of staff has significantly spiked. Deemed a high-risk situation, school administrators decided to close Teller Elementary temporarily, to allow time for recovery within the community and perform a thorough deep-cleaning of the 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. 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.
