An Orlando based restaurant is closed after hundreds of people who ate there went to the doctor’s office days after.
More than 300 people got sick after eating at the Orlando-based Darden restaurant, Olive Garden, in Indianapolis, WESH 2 News reported.

Three of those people have been hospitalized. Customers complained of nausea, vomiting, fever and diarrhea.

“You’ve probably heard about the illnesses on the cruise ships; this is the same type of thing, possibly. The investigation is still going it hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Scott Gilliam from the Indiana Health Dept. said. “We see these kinds of outbreaks typically this time of year, around the holidays. It’s just so easily spread from person to person just from being in the same area and being in close contact with individuals.”

Gilliam said it may be the Norovirus that caused the sickness and also had six restaurant workers who reported feeling sick.

The problem has been isolated to just that restaurant.WESH 2 called Darden for a comment but haven’t heard back.
