PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — An inspection by the Rhode Island Health Department found no link between a norovirus outbreak and the food served at a wedding.
The Providence Journal reports about 74 people fell ill from norovirus at an April 5 wedding in West Warwick. The highly infectious virus causes severe vomiting and diarrhea, but victims typically get better in a couple of days.
The wedding took place at the West Valley Inn, but a food-safety inspection found no evidence that the virus originated in food.
