NEW YORK: Stomach bug at Union College - (Times Union)
June 3, 2008 – 11:13 pmSCHENECTADY — About two dozen Union College students have fallen ill with vomiting, diarrhea and nausea over the past few days. The county Health Department is investigating the cause of the outbreak, which has the symptoms of a norovirus.
Union College is on a trimester system, so students are on campus longer than other local colleges. Final exams begin next week and graduation is June 15.
Students began going to the school’s infirmary Sunday, but the volume of cases increased on Monday evening and today, said Kathy Sen, supervising community health nurse for communicable disease control for the county.
