LiBerti's Restaurant Patrons Sickened by Norovirus
Nearly 130 people who ate at LiBerti’s Restaurant in Wantage, New Jersey, have been sickened by norovirus. Those sickened ate at the restaurant from June 2 to June 6. Health officials are looking for the source of the outbreak at the restaurant. Testing has ruled out the water at the restaurant as the source.
Because norovirus can be transmitted by food, water, or from person to person, it is difficult to find the source of a norovirus outbreak. However, when a norovirus outbreak is linked to a restaurant the restaurant is liable for damages to those sickened. Damages can include medical expenses, loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and other compensatory losses.
