At least 75 sick; norovirus fingered as cause of Nashville NC restaurant outbreak

After clinical testing, public health officials in Nash County, North Carolina, say norovirus made dozens of people sick after eating at the Ribeye’s Steakhouse Restaurant, and now may be spreading in the community.

Heath officials say it’s likely that it started in the restaurant and spread into the town.

They believe the restaurant is norovirus-free as of Friday.
