British Columbia health authorities are reporting at least 64 people have fallen ill after consuming raw oysters from various restaurants and vendors in the southern part of the province.
The norovirus-like gastrointestinal illness was first reported Nov. 1, and additional reports have been made over the past month and a half in the Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health, and Island Health regions, the BC Centre for Disease Control says in a Dec. 19 advisory.
