NORMANDY PARK, Wash. -- Health officials are investigating to see if norovirus sickened eight people at a Subway Restaurant in Normandy Park.

According to Public Health - Seattle King County, officials learned on Oct. 25 that eight people from two different groups became ill after eating at the same sub shop.

"We do not have laboratory confirmation of the etiology, but symptoms are suggestive of norovirus. Often in norovirus outbreaks, no laboratory testing is done. The exact food item that caused the illness has not yet been identified, though this is not uncommon for norovirus outbreaks where multiple food items may be contaminated."

All patients had symptoms including vomiting, nausea and diarrhea associated with the Subway, officials said.
