“As most members of our campus community are aware, Mount Allison University dealt with an outbreak of the Norwalk virus last week, and St. Francis Xavier University is currently dealing with a suspected Norwalk-like virus on campus. As of noon today, there were no reported cases of anyone at UPEI showing symptoms of this virus. UPEI is being proactive in trying to avoid an outbreak here.
