“We are in the height of norovirus season,” said Dr. Jill Roberts, Associate Professor for the USF College of Public Health. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, norovirus is at a 12 month high. Doctors attribute the lack up norovirus circulating in the community up until now, to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing.
