Stomach virus likely caused Olive Garden illnesses

A contagious stomach virus is likely to blame for sickening about
370 people who ate at an Olive Garden restaurant in Indianapolis last
week, a county health official said on Monday.

Stool tests of
three Olive Garden employees and one customer were positive for a
norovirus, a gastrointestinal illness that causes vomiting and
diarrhea, according to Marion County Health Department spokesman John
Althardt.
