Norovirus Outbreak Suspected at Long Island School with Over 100 Sick Students After Dance

HI INDIA NEWS DESK
NEW YORK, NY- Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes stomach and intestinal inflammation, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. It is typically spread through contact with infected individuals or contaminated food and surfaces.

In this case, it appears that over 100 students at Babylon High School in Long Island have fallen ill, and health officials believe it may be a norovirus outbreak. The school district sent an alert to parents asking them to keep their children at home if they were experiencing any stomach issues. The virus typically lasts for one to two days, and the best defense against it is frequent hand washing with soap and water. Those who are ill should avoid preparing food for others until two days after their symptoms have resolved.
