A Kansas elementary school suffered an outbreak of norovirus that impacted nearly 100 people, health officials said.
The outbreak at Bentwood Elementary School in Olathe, Kansas, began in early October and spread to 95 cases of norovirus among students and staff and two cases among family members, officials with the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment and Olathe Public Schools told ABC News in a statement Thursday.
Two of the cases were confirmed through laboratory testing, with the remaining cases being "epidemiologically linked, meaning individuals experienced similar symptoms around the same time and in the same setting," officials said.
