The Sandusky Register reports that about 44 people are sick after attending a Creative Health Care Management Convention at the Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron, Ohio. The convention ran from September 10 to 13, 2013, and about 300 people were in attendance.
Food served at the conference is being tested, and public health officials are also running tests on stool samples from the ill persons. About 100 questionnaires were passed out to attendees to try to pinpoint the cause of the illness. Officials suspect norovirus, since most people became sick suddenly. One sample did come back positive for the virus.
Officials are stressing that inspections have not yet linked the illnesses to the Resort or food served at the convention. No conclusions have been drawn at this time.
