Norovirus Begins Having Its Way With UW-Madison

By Marler Clark LLP

Sellery Hall on the campus of the University of Wisconsin at Madison appears to be ground zero for a norovirus outbreak at UW. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports:

"As many as 45 students at UW-Madison are sick with the norovirus.

Many of the students live in the Sellery dormitory.

Symptoms of norovirus illness usually include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and some stomach cramping. Those affected can also have a low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and a general sense of tiredness.

Health officials aren't considering it an outbreak because the virus has been contained."

Located at 821 W. Johnson in Madison, Sellery is named for turn-of-the-century UW history professor, liberal arts dean, and acting UW President George Clark Sellery.
