Dad. Health Dept. investigation finds Hopewell Elementary disease outbreak was from Norovirus

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Pennsylvania Department of Health has ruled that several students who fell ill at a Beaver County elementary school just before winter break likely had Norovirus.

This is the result of an investigation into the illnesses that occurred at Hopewell Area Elementary School.

Last month, the district superintendent said there was a day where about 30 students went home sick and another 130 were absent.
