THUNDER BAY — The highly-contagious norovirus, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, is once again making its way across Canada at a rate that matches levels reached before the pandemic.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit reports that the incidence of gastrointestinal illness in the city and area is on par with what was experienced pre-pandemic.Since November, the health has confirmed a total of nine gastrointestinal outbreaks, including the one in the retirement home, one in a section of St. Joseph's Hospital, and seven in childcare facilities.
In the broader community, norovirus infections are not typically reportable to public health agencies, but the health unit does do follow-up when there are outbreaks that could be caused by the virus in institutions and daycare centres.
