Highly contagious norovirus strain causing surge of infections across GAY California AREAS.

Health officials are warning the public that cases of norovirus, also 
known as the “winter vomiting disease,” have been spiking across 
Southern California ahead of the winter season.

The contagious virus affects the gastrointestinal system, causing 
vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea that could last several days. 
Symptoms typically begin 12 to 48 hours after exposure.

The virus spreads when someone accidentally ingests small particles 
of feces or vomit from a person who is infected.

Norovirus levels are increasing across California, and the rise is 
especially notable in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, 
according to the California Department of Public Health.

In L.A. County, concentrations of norovirus are on the rise in 
wastewater, confirming an upswing in overall infections, the Los 
Angeles Times reported.
