Norovirus was behind a foodborne outbreak in 2018 caused by eating take-out food in China, according to a study.
The outbreak involved 157 probable cases and 20 people had laboratory-confirmed norovirus infections in two weeks in March 2018.
Food delivery services have become common in China in recent years but the hygienic condition of delivered food is not easy to control. Contamination can occur at any stage, from preparation to distribution, and food handlers must play an important role, said researchers.
The outbreak was managed by restrictions on off-campus dining and implementation of disinfection and case isolation measures.
