Officials are warning the public not to consume raw oysters in at least two California counties after several people became sick with norovirus.

San Diego County health officials have linked 41 confirmed and probable cases of the illness to raw oysters imported from a specific harvest in Northwest Mexico, the county said in a press release Jan. 11.
