Jail Illness Outbreak Was Caused By Norovirus

Heather Kaisner is with the Deschutes County Health Department.

 

"The county will typically go in there -- and we did that and sent samples up to the state lab in Portland and we're waiting and we should hear back in a few days.  Right now we don't believe it was from the food, so we're just waiting, we'll see."

 

Again, the results show the norovirus caused the illnesses.

 

The virus affected 40 inmates and 8 staff members.  But currently, no staff or inmates are experiencing any symptoms of the virus.
