Norovirus Outbreak At Elementary School In Washington State
Up in the most northwest corner of the United States, officials at the Eagle Creek Elementary School in Arlington, WA are happy to be sending in the cleaning crews to scrub things down.
That's because the 100 students and staff who got sick at the school have Norovirus, not the Swine Flu. It's just another reminder that the Norovirus season is not over yet.
The Snohomish County Health District says about 20 percent of the elementary school's student body plus some staff members are ill. They are suffering all the Norovirus symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Symptoms typically last one to two days
