norovirus

Hospital patients with the winter vomiting bug norovirus were also more numerous than in many winters.

There have been eight measles cases in California since the beginning of the year, in addition to thousands of seasonal flu, COVID-19, norovirus and other respiratory virus cases.

And while no other players have been as sick as Betts — who lost more than 15 pounds during his two-week battle with what was believed to be a case of norovirus — Roberts said there are others in the clubhouse who have had “sniffles and things like that.”

Betts missed the Dodgers’ opening two games in Japan last week while battling a stomach virus, one that is believed to be a case of norovirus, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly.

A norovirus outbreak has led to a health board banning visitors at its hospitals.
