Mexican restaurant in Ohio closes after 23 sickened with norovirus
Health officials closed the Acapulco Mexican Restaurante in Xenia, Ohio, for several hours Friday after 23 people reported becoming sick.
Mark McDonnell, with the Greene County Health Department, said,
"We strongly suspect it's the Norwalk virus simply because of the time frame. People reported getting sick within 24 hours, and it only lasts 24 to 48 hours. … We had a couple of employees ill last week, and they might have come back on a little too early and were still shedding the virus."
Health officials ordered workers to sanitize the restaurant before it reopened at 3 p.m. Friday afternoon. Inspectors said the restaurant meets all its requirements and is now safe for customers.
