US EditionNebraska Has Seen the 7th Most Norovirus Outbreaks per Capita Over the Past Decade
Midwestern states accounted for a disproportionate share of norovirus outbreaks, with Wisconsin reporting 1,739 incidents—8.3% of the national total, mainly in long-term care facilities.
- Trace One's analysis of CDC NORS data shows Midwest states accounted for a disproportionate share of U.S. norovirus outbreaks over the past decade.
- During winter months, norovirus activity rises and stays elevated into early spring, with January–March each exceeding more than 3,500 outbreaks and accounting for over half of the past decade's reports; risk increases during the holiday season with indoor gatherings and shared food.
- Long-Term care facilities led outbreaks, with nearly five times as many as schools and universities, restaurants, and child daycares combined, according to CDC data.
- Young children and older adults face higher risk as norovirus causes vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration that can require hospitalization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
- When adjusted for population, Rhode Island ranks first per capita with more than 603 outbreaks per million, while South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Arkansas reported fewer than 15 outbreaks, reflecting limited public-health surveillance.
