A norovirus outbreak originating from a California restaurant has sickened about 100 people, according to the San Luis Obispo County Public Health Department.

Jessie Burmester, an epidemiologist from the health department, told KSBY news that 97 cases have been confirmed in connection with the outbreak earlier this month. While Burmester did not disclose the name of the restaurant involved, she revealed that the investigations consistently pointed to the same establishment.

“Our primary objective during investigations is to identify a common source or exposure point,” Burmester said. “Thus far, all individuals reporting illness have consistently provided the name of the restaurant.”
