Around a hundred male college students in China suddenly started having diarrhea and vomiting earlier this week.
Despite reports of widespread poisoning, the school at the Wucheng campus of Shanxi University of Finance and Economics did not provide any information to the students about the incident until the evening of Oct. 8, when it briefly confirmed a Norovirus infection through its official Weibo account. It said that all students on the sixth floor of a dormitory building had been put in isolation because of the outbreak, but isolated inside their dorms.
