The norovirus outbreak among Californians at the Republican National Convention is not contained, with another case reported by state party officials Thursday.

The new person affected is not a delegate or an alternate, but rather a guest of the delegation. This is the first report of the highly contagious gastrointestinal virus spreading outside of the party’s staff. Previously, at least a dozen staff members were quarantined in their hotel rooms after showing symptoms of norovirus.

SANDUSKY, Ohio, July 19 (UPI) -- About a dozen staff members of the California Republican Party have been quarantined after an outbreak of norovirus just as the delegation touched down in Cleveland last week, multiple media outlets report.

The 550-member California delegation is staying at a safari-themed resort in Sandusky, Ohio, about 60 miles outside Cleveland, where the convention is being staged. Peter Schade, the Erie County, Ohio, health commissioner, http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/07/19/illness-fells-california-gop-officials-convention/87288434/ - told USA Today it appears the first members of the staff sickened began developing symptoms on Thursday night, the day they arrived in Ohio to begin preparing for the convention.

comment: perhaps there are more things to be concerned about than hacking of emails during the current presidential campaigns.
