But at that time, what they came up with was, it could have been anything or anyone. This has been such a heavy flu season. One of our workers could have gotten it from a guest here.\"Norovirus is known to cause vomiting, nausea and diarrhea.It's also highly contagious.\"Norovirus is a virus that is transmitted usually from contaminated food or water as a source, and can spread from person to person,\" said Dr. Tom Hopkins, of Sacramento.\u00A0The restaurant passed its county health inspection Feb. 13, just more than one week before the possible outbreak.\"It's extremely frustrating to not know\" Mayo said. \"That's the frustrating part.

The restaurant was packed Tuesday night.\u00A0If it's confirmed that this was in fact a norovirus outbreak, the county will likely review the restaurant's health procedures.Stay with KCRA and KCRA.com for the latest information.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
