The outbreak was announced on June 9, 2021, after 13 cases of
people becoming ill were reported to the public health departments. According
to health department officials, the 13 people ate at the restaurant Mazatlán
located at 110 Cross Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002, on May 21 before becoming
ill.
Investigators were sent to the Mexican restaurant a few days
after the cases were reported but they were unable to find any factors that
could have contributed to the spread of norovirus.
Norovirus is highly contagious and normally spreads
person-to-person, often through food. People who contract norovirus experience
symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea with cramps, low-grade
fevers, chills, and body aches.
