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.

Public health officials have been working closely with the university to implement enhanced cleaning measures and promote hygiene best practices among students. Custodial staff are spending additional time sanitizing commonly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs and washrooms. Students are being reminded to wash their hands frequently and avoid populated areas if they are feeling ill.

Despite the outbreak, the university is confident that the risk to the broader community remains low. However, they continue to monitor the situation closely and provide support to affected students.
