Illness That Sent Over 100 Students Home Under Investigation

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina health officials are trying to determine why more than 100 students at a primary school were sickened last week. The Post and Courier of Charleston reports that state Department of Health and Environmental Control spokesman Tim Kelly said Monday that Westview Primary School in Goose Creek experienced "a norovirus-like illness outbreak." Kelly said the results of stool samples from afflicted students should be back this week. Last Thursday, the school sent home more than 100 students, many of whom experienced diarrhea and vomiting.
