Norovirus Outbreak Suspected at San Quentin

Posted on January 3, 2007 by Norovirus Lawyer

There has been a norovirus at San Quentin State Prison which has restricted visitors until Thursday at the earliest.  Full story from KCBS

San Quentin State Prison officials are taking precautions today after a rash of possible norovirus cases broke out among inmates and employees.

 
Rudy Luna, administrative assistant to the warden, says last week prison officials last week noticed a larger-than-normal number of staff and prisoners with flu-like symptoms.


Luna says since Wednesday, prison officials have restricted the movement of sick inmates, instituted rigorous cleaning measures and placed hand sanitizers throughout the facility.

"...and placed hand sanitizers throughout the facility."

I didn't think hand sanitizer killed off the norovirus...or any other stomach virus. :p
