Hey guys! Have you heard about the norovirus outbreak in Evanston, Illinois? π¨ The Evanston Health and Human Services Department is currently investigating a norovirus outbreak that has been linked to a $1-burrito event for Northwestern University students. The event was held by Big Wig Tacos and took place last Saturday between 1 and 8 p.m.
The cityβs health department started receiving complaints from students on Monday, reporting symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea after consuming food from the event. Yikes! π± The norovirus is no joke – it’s a highly contagious virus that can cause vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain, according to the CDC. π·
Big Wig Tacos has assured that they are cooperating with the Evanston Health Department in their investigation and taking comprehensive measures to address the situation. In a statement on their Facebook page, they mentioned that norovirus outbreaks are more common in settings like colleges and universities. However, they’re stepping up their efforts to clean and sanitize their establishment to prevent further transmission of the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends washing hands and rinsing fruits and vegetables as preventative measures against the norovirus. In the meantime, the health department and Big Wig Tacos have been contacted for additional comments about the situation. We’ll keep you updated as we learn more!
