Rhode Island, New York, & Minnesota All Reporting Norovirus

Food prepared at the East Greenwich Gourmet between July 30th and Aug. 1st should be tossed because it might be contaminated with Norovirus.

Rhode Island public health officials discovered the problem when every other guest at a weekend event serving East Greenwich Gourmet foods got sick.

In other Norovirus news, the New York Department of Health issued an advisory to camp directors and medical staff about the spread of the bug through the state's many summer camps.

And in Minnesota, 20 people who attended a Rochester an Aug. 1 wedding reception became ill after "eating tortilla chips contaminated with norovirus, possibly from fecal matter."

Oh Boy!

I spent two days in Rochester Mn. Ordered out once from a local bar and developed stomach ache and fevers 48 hours aftering having the meal. now 72 hours later I'm getting loose stools. I would not have given it much thought except that I read about the 20 people who attended the catered wedding then heard about a recall on beef. I was just trying to make a connection.
