USA – Norovirus – Unusual Source – Pumpkin Carving

The Register Guard

One of two pumpkin-­carving events held before Halloween may have been the origin of a suspected noro­virus outbreak at O’Hara Catholic School, Lane County officials say.

The school welcomed students and staff back to class Tuesday following an extended five-day weekend after the outbreak caused at least 100 people to fall ill. School Principal Tammy Conway said about 40 percent of students were absent on Tuesday.
