Norovirus is an illness that is primarily transmitted through contact with stool or vomit and then touching contaminated surfaces. The very contagious virus has common symptoms of diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and sometimes loss of energy, mild headaches, and low-grade fevers.
On Monday, the district maintenance team will clean the building thoroughly.
