Norovirus Outbreak at School

9:53 PM Fri, Apr 11, 2008 |

Health experts say the best way to avoid getting the Norovirus or Norwalk virus to wash your hands. It is highly contagious and seems to spread fast.
This is a nasty illness that usually has the symptoms of an upset stomach and headache. The symptoms last from 24 to 48 hours.
Just how the virus got into Seckman Middle School is anyone's guess. District officials say they have tested the air, checked for mold, and tested for carbon monoxide and dioxide and found no known cause.
It seems this mystery may disappear as quickly as it appeared.
