It's Norovirus Season!

Have you noticed some of your classes seem a little empty lately? Maybe seen a few of your colleagues looking a bit grey in the face? Well, you aren’t imagining things! Norovirus season is back early and with a vengeance. Norovirus is very contagious, so it is important to take precautions to protect yourself and others.
