Barefoot’s Joe closed? Norovirus runs rampant at university in Tenn

WREG reports Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, is closed until Wednesday after a stomach virus sickened about 300 of the 1,100 students living on campus.

All classes at the university’s campus are cancelled and the library, wellness barefootsjoelogocenter, and Barefoots Joe will also be closed.

Off-campus clinical sessions for nursing and pharmacy will continue to meet as scheduled.

Brewer Dining Hall and the Lexington Inn will remain open and will offer carry out food services.

In addition, Monday’s West Tennessee Ministers and Wives Valentine’s Banquet is cancelled.

A suggestion: any students working in food service, don’t go to work.
