The outbreak has caused 93 reported cases at Valencia Elementary School since November 5, prompting the school to close to help curb transmission of the norovirus.
Health officials emphasize that norovirus spreads easily through food, surfaces, or person-to-person contact, and stress the importance of handwashing with soap and water.
Dr. Karissa LeClair Cortez emphasized the potential for a larger spread within the community, underscoring the need for health precautions to prevent further infections.
Many parents have expressed concern over the outbreak. One parent noted that closing the school was a proactive measure, given the low attendance and risks involved.
