By Shelby Brown —
Students returning to close living and dining quarters face the threat of illness in the prime of winter.
“Usually Norovirus is a big outbreak. We haven’t had an outbreak on campus,” Executive Director of Campus Health Services Phillip Bressoud said. “It gets a lot of press when you get a big outbreak. Two to three thousand people can get sick on cruise ships and at universities.”
Norovirus is more commonly known as the stomach bug.
