The Florida Department of Health warned residents the norovirus is making the rounds in the state. According to the state, 61 clusters of stomach flu caused by the norovirus have appeared in the first two months of 2010.

The outbreaks have been clustered in school, assisted living facilities, long-term care facilities, and correctional facilities. In Miami-Dade County, there are two or three clusters of 10-25 cases, primarily in assisted living facilities. Broward County reported five or six clusters in assisted living facilities.

So far, no clusters have appeared in South Florida schools.

Norovirus causes nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach cramping. The symptoms of the bug include low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue.

There is no treatment for norovirus, but the Florida Department of Health recommends infected persons get plenty of rest and drink plenty of liquids to prevent dehydration.
