Best Question:

We have restaurants near popular Appalachian Trail stops, and we’ve seen that there’s a serious norovirus outbreak in hikers. Should we be worried? 

Summer is thru-hiking season for popular hiking routes like the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails. While norovirus tends to spike in the broader population from November to April, we consistently see major noro outbreaks in the summer related to hiking trails. This year, we’ve already heard warnings about norovirus on both the AT and PCT. 

‍

Noro spreads easily through contaminated food, water, or surfaces, like the communal composting toilets that are common in parts of these trails. Hand sanitizer doesn’t work to kill norovirus, and access to soap and water for hand washing on the trail is limited. It only takes a tiny amount of the virus to make others sick, and since it’s highly contagious, just one person’s illness can cause an outbreak among a group that is hiking together or using shared bathroom facilities, despite good ventilation in the great outdoors.

‍

If you operate restaurants near a popular trailhead, be sure to let your team know that there’s noro in the area and that they should be extra vigilant about washing their hands. Consider adding an extra bathroom cleaning (or two) per day, especially if you have hikers using your facilities. Emphasize the importance of staying home if your employees get sick with a stomach bug, and not returning to work until two days after their symptoms stop. Those three simple steps should protect you significantly if there’s an outbreak near you.
