Health officials say that over 90 people at the University of Rochester in western New York have shown symptoms linked to Norovirus, according to the Democrat & Chronicle. Most victims of the virus are being reported as students.
School officials are warning students and faculty to wash their hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of the virus, which can be passed on through contaminated food and water as well as by touching contaminated surfaces.
The source of the outbreak still has yet to be identified, but the university made changes to its Dandelion Day Celebration on Friday. The event included handwashing stations near amusement rides, wash downs of the rides every 15 minutes, and mostly pre-packaged food served.
As of now, there have been no plans to cancel class.
