A norovirus outbreak at a New York restaurant was traced back to sick food handlers, some of whom were unaware of the location’s paid sick leave policy, researchers reported at the CDC’s annual Epidemic Intelligence Service conference.
“In December, we received three reports of gastrointestinal illness in patrons [who] dined with a Manhattan restaurant. They were patrons [who] had been part of two different parties that dined on two different days at the same restaurant,” Leah D. Seifu, MD, MPH, Epidemic Intelligence Service with the CDC assigned to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, told Healio. “So, we, at the health department decided to investigate these reports of gastrointestinal illness.”
