Vomiting 'Vomiting bug' spreading in the US Norovirus, often described as a highly contagious 'vomiting bug,' is spreading across multiple regions of the United States as wastewater surveillance shows rising viral levels in several states, including the Northeast. The norovirus outbreak has been linked to cases in Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, with health officials monitoring clusters of gastrointestinal illness and elevated transmission signals in sewage data. Reports came from updated surveillance data from wastewater monitoring systems and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which track norovirus activity through reported outbreaks and environmental samples.
