With the recent outbreak of a Norwalk type virus at Mount Allison University and possibly a second reported viral outbreak at St. Frances Xavier, the University of New Brunswick Saint John would like to take a proactive approach in the prevention of such an outbreak here on our campus. Some suggested preventative measures are as follows

• frequent washing of hands (use lots of soap and hot water)
• avoid human to human contact with people who are ill
• avoid shared surfaces such as door knobs and hand railings as much as possible

UNB Saint John has a number if contingency plans in place for safety and security concerns that may arise on campus. Managers are currently meeting to review, and update as necessary, contingency plans in case of a virus outbreak at UNB Saint John.

Here is the News from cbc:

Mount Allison University in Sackville, N.B., has cancelled classes and closed all public buildings while cleaning staff disinfect the school in response to an outbreak that has caused diarrhea and vomiting among at least 100 students.
Public health officials asked the university to close its campus on Friday, suggesting that a fast-moving, Norwalk-type virus is likely to blame for the illness. It has swept through eight of 11 university dorms on campus and has hit faculty and staff.
The virus likely spread through shared washrooms in residence halls and cafeteria salad bars.
