RENO, Nev. (AP)â€” Health officials are warning about a virus circulating in Washoe County that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness.

Norovirus cases have been confirmed by recent laboratory tests, and officials are urging residents to avoid contamination by carefully washing their hands before eating or handling food and after using the bathroom.

The virus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through person-to-person contact, in food and beverages and by touching contaminated surfaces or objects.

It is transmitted most easily where people con-gregate in groups.

The illness usually consists of nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache and body aches lasting from one to three days.
