103 illnesses have been reported so far.
, there are approximately 2,500 norovirus outbreaks reported each year. The virus spreads when an infected person has direct contact with others or through contaminated foods or surfaces. The CDC specifically calls out shellfish, such as oysters, as an example: “Quick steaming processes that are often used for cooking shellfish may not heat foods sufficiently to kill noroviruses.
Until the FDA and CDC have more information, avoid eating raw oysters harvested from the BC 14-8 and BC 14-15 oyster farms in British Columbia. If you have already purchased these oysters, you should discard them immediately. To protect yourself and those around you from norovirus in general, the FDA and CDC recommend the following tips:
Wash your hands with soap and water often, ideally for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom and before eating or handling food.Cook shellfish thoroughly, as noroviruses can withstand temperatures as high as 145°F. Do not prepare food or have direct contact with other people when you are sick with stomach flu, and for at least two days after your symptoms end.Wash potentially contaminated laundry thoroughly in hot water.
