School officials say more than 100 students and staff at an Arlington, Wash., elementary school have been sickened by the norovirus, which causes an illness typically known as the stomach flu.
School district officials have notified the Snohomish County Health District about the outbreak at Eagle Creek Elementary. It's affecting about 20 percent of the school's student body. The school has also alerted parents.
Extra cleaning crews were brought in Wednesday night to scrub down the school.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Symptoms typically last one to two days.
