According to the US CDC, more than 210 cases of acute gastrointestinal illness caused by norovirus have occurred since late November 2022 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Infection has been linked to the consumption of raw oysters from Texas. Travelers should avoid consumption of raw or improperly cooked oysters originating from Texas (or if the origin is unknown) and observe hand hygiene (frequent, thorough handwashing).
