Title: Norovirus Outbreak Traced to $1 Burritos Promotion at Big Wig Tacos & Burritos
Evanston, IL – A recent spike in cases of norovirus has been linked to a promotional event held at Big Wig Tacos & Burritos, a popular eatery near Northwestern University. The outbreak occurred on November 18, after students took advantage of a limited-time promotion offering $1 burritos.
Following their meals at the taco shop, several customers reported experiencing severe symptoms including stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Promptly after the complaints started pouring in, the Evanston Health and Human Services Department conducted an immediate inspection of the restaurant.
Big Wig Tacos has been fully cooperative during the investigation and has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of its patrons. Comprehensive cleaning and sanitation methods have been implemented to prevent any further transmission of the virus.
In response to the ordeal, the president of Big Wig Tacos expressed uncertainty regarding the outbreak’s origin but assured the public that the establishment is actively participating in the ongoing investigation. Northwestern University representatives have joined forces with health officials, collecting stool samples from symptomatic students to aid in identifying the source of the outbreak.
Norovirus, a highly contagious virus known for its rapid spread, can be contracted via direct contact with an infected person or by touching contaminated surfaces. Its resilience allows it to survive on various surfaces for extended periods, ranging from days to weeks.
As of now, the exact number of reported cases in the norovirus outbreak remains undisclosed. The Evanston Health and Human Services Department is diligently working to compile and analyze data to determine the extent of the outbreak and take appropriate action to prevent further infections.
Public health officials urge anyone who has visited Big Wig Tacos & Burritos during the promotion and is experiencing symptoms consistent with norovirus to seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, individuals are encouraged to practice good hygiene habits, such as thorough handwashing, to minimize the risk of transmission.
Stay tuned for updates on the ongoing investigation as authorities work to address the situation and prevent future outbreaks.
