But will sick workers return? Norovirus scrubbed from BC restaurant

A Kamloops, B.C., restaurant linked to a norovirus outbreak has reopened after a thorough scrubbing.

Interior Health environmental health officer Kevin Touchet says inspectors have verified intensive cleaning at Dorian Greek House has removed all traces of the virus, which norovirus-2causes vomiting and diarrhea.

Dorian was closed Monday after dozens of people in two separate groups became ill, with about 36 doctors, nurses and medical staff affected in the first outbreak, prompting cancellation of more than two dozen elective surgeries at Royal Inland Hospital last week.
