UK and Hong Kong Norovirus Outbreak Traced to Oysters
At least 100 people are ill in the UK and 12 people in Hong Kong after eating raw oysters produced by Whitstable Oyster Company in the UK. The oysters were contaminated with norovirus.
Researchers from Public Health England, the Food Standards Agency, and environmental health teams in Thanet and Canterbury in England are investigating reports of people who ate oysters in late May and early June 2021 and then fell ill with vomiting and diarrhea.
