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 causes 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.

Interior Health Authority officials say a downtown Kamloops (that’s in Canada) restaurant was the source of Norovirus that struck more than three-dozen staff at Royal Inland Hospital last week.

Medical Health Officer Dr. Rob Parker says the staff became sick after attending a party catered by Dorian Greek House.

Parker adds despite precautionary measures and extra cleaning undertaken by Dorian’s — a second party hosted by the restaurant Friday has resulted in another group of patrons falling ill Sunday.

Parker says Dorian has been closed temporarily while it hires a company to give the restaurant a full cleaning.
