More than 900 military personnel have been deployed to take over security at 20 Olympic venues
until all the affected workers are able to return to duty, the organizing committee said in a statement.

Norovirus is highly contagious and commonly spread through contaminated food or water or contaminated surfaces, according to the Mayo Clinic.
It also can be spread through close contact with an infected person.

Symptoms usually begin 12 to 48 hours after exposure and last one to three days.
There's no specific treatment for norovirus infection, the clinic says on its website.

I came down with it last Wednesday night. Violent vomiting, diarrhea then a mild fever throughout Thurs. By Friday I was almost 100% good to go. Mostly weak due to lack of eating.......I had the flu shot so I think that helped lessen the symptoms........

Just awful timing. I’m curious if they have found the source of the norovirus. Last I read, there were ideas, but no real definitive answer.
