MDH reports spike in Norovirus cases, warns public about spread of virus [View all]
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is reporting a spike in Norovirus outbreaks across the state.
A spokesperson says they are seeing double the amount of outbreaks compared to a typical year. There have already been more than 40 outbreaks reported this year.
Also known as the stomach flu, Norovirus is very contagious.
Amid the holiday season, experts are reminding the public to always wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, not to prepare food within three days of having symptoms, and finally, to immediately clean and disinfect surfaces that may have come in contact with the virus.
