South Korea - Outbreak of Norovirus at the Winter Olympics
An outbreak of norovirus, a highly contagious gastrointestinal illness, affected at least 41 Olympic security guards who were taken to the hospital after suffering from vomiting and diarrhea on Sunday. To keep the disease from spreading, 1,200 security guards were pulled from their jobs and replaced with 900 members of the South Korean military who will conduct security checks and searches until the sick guards are better.
The guards who got sick were all staying in the same building together and buses and accommodations are being disinfected to try to prevent the spread of the disease.
