Chinanews, Beijing, January 16 – According to Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Prevention and Control (BMCDPCP), no mass-scale contagion¹ of norovirus has been detected in Beijing, thus there is no need to be anxious.

Beijing warned the citizens to be on the alert for possible epidemic² of “stomach-flu”caused by norovirus on January 13, as cases of norovirus infection in Guangdong Province had been reported.

Recently, several Beijingers have been found to be infected with norovirus; however, BMCDPCP claims that there is no sign of these patients having got the disease through person-to-person infection.

Even there is mass contagion of norovirus, the stomach-flu and gastroenteritis caused by it are usually far from fatal, and most patients can get well spontaneously within five days.

BMCDPCP calls for the public's attention to food hygiene³ to prevent mass contagion in Beijing.
