32 cases of Norovirus at Games

More than 1,200 security workers were pulled off duty for the Pyeongchang Olympics because of concerns about the spread of the Norovirus, officials said Tuesday, three days before the opening ceremony. The organizing committee said 32 cases of the common viral infection had been confirmed and those people were quarantined after being treated. Those 32 cases involve 21 private security staff members from the Horeb Youth Center and 11 people from other locations, including three foreigners. The organizing committee said groundwater used in food and beverages at the Horeb Youth Center was suspected.
