Norovirus outbreak reported among GOP convention staffers
A handful of Republican staff members in Cleveland for the GOP convention were reported to be suffering Tuesday from a possible norovirus infection.
And if there are a few people with norovirus, it’s likely there will be more.
As many as 11 members of the California delegation’s advance team are showing symptoms that are consistent with the norovirus, according to Peter Schade, the Erie County health commissioner, who is investigating the outbreak. They are staying at a hotel in Sandusky, Ohio, about an hour from Cleveland.
“We’ve got about 11 who have been sick over the last few days, and we’ve been out there every day and working with them to eliminate the spread [between] the resort and the delegation from California,” Schade said.
Keeping them away from the other constituents is a smart move - the stuff is nasty and highly contagious. I bet the rest of the people on the airplane from CA are suffering right now.
