University of Guelph Responds to Norovirus Outbreak


The University of Guelph has confirmed a positive test for norovirus as over 190 students report symptoms of gastroenteritis. The outbreak, which began in South Residence, has prompted the university to take immediate action to contain the spread of the virus.
