An outbreak of norovirus infections that has sickened more than 600 who ate at a dinner theater in Overland Park, Kan., is the focus of much investigation and a $40,000 cleanup.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA), and Johnson County Department of Health and Environment (JCDHE) converged Friday at the New Theatre Restaurant to educate staff about norovirus, oversee cleanup, and observe food safety practices.
Owners of the New Theatre Restaurant reported it has contracted with Germicide Pro, which spent six hours cleaning the facility on Friday. The company reported using an EPA-registered disinfectant that kills norovirus and has been found safe for food establishments.
