Plumas County Public Health Agency says Norovirus is on the rise. It is very contagious and spreads easily from person to person, causing vomiting, diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps. If you have any of these symptoms, keep away from others and wash your hands with soap and water often.

Norovirus is a common cause of vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Illness from norovirus is rarely severe, and most people get better on their own in 1–3 days.

Norovirus is very contagious. You can get sick after touching or caring for someone who is sick or after touching or eating something that is contaminated.

You are most likely to spread norovirus while you have symptoms and for 2 days after the symptoms stop.

You can help prevent the spread of norovirus by washing your hands with soap and water often.

Do not prepare food or care for others while you are sick and for at least 2 days (48 hours) after symptoms stop.

🎁 December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month!

As the holiday season begins, Seneca Healthcare District is reminding families and community members to choose gifts that bring joy—safely.

Here’s how you can help keep the season bright and injury-free:

🔍 Check age recommendations — Toys designed for older children may contain small parts or features unsafe for younger ones.
🚫 Avoid small magnets & button batteries — These can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed.
👀 Inspect for sharp edges or loose pieces — Especially important for dolls, action figures, and wooden toys.
🛡️ Encourage protective gear — Helmets, pads, and safety equipment make great add-on gifts for bikes, scooters, and sports items.
👨‍👩‍👧 Supervise playtime — Especially with new or complex toys.

By choosing safe, age-appropriate gifts, we can prevent injuries and ensure that all children in our community enjoy a healthy and happy holiday season!
