Toronto is seeing an increase in norovirus activity compared to pandemic years, but the city’s public health unit said the current trend has not reached pre-COVID-19 viral activity.
Norovirus, also known as Norwalk virus, is a common cause of vomiting and diarrhea that spreads easily from person-to-person.
TPH defines an outbreak as a localized increase, such as at an institution, where the rate of infection or illness is above what is expected. The single case that remains active is at Runnymede Health Centre, a rehab facility, where TPH declared an outbreak on Feb. 11. TPH is recommending frequent hand washing, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and high-touch areas, such as telephones, door handles and gym equipment.
