School officials told FOX 5 that a total of 41 students
complained of nausea and vomiting after eating at O'Donovan Dining Hall,
which is also known to students as Leo's. They say they about 25 of
those students were treated overnight at Officials said though the students ate at the same dining
hall, they did not all eat the same dish. Earlier Wednesday, the school newspaper's website, www.thehoya.com, reported that of the
eight students in the emergency waiting room around 3 a.m., six of them had
dinner at O'Donovan Hall or had Grab 'n Go for dinner that night. The
other two students told The Hoya they had not eaten at the dining hall since
earlier in the day or on Monday evening. According to the newspaper, a university official was at
the hospital to help students, and she said the school hadn't been able to
determine just what the source of the believed food poisoning was. O'Donovan Hall was closed to students for at least
breakfast and lunch on Wednesday while the investigation into the sicknesses
continues. The Hoya reports that the university sent an email to
students earlier in the morning telling them the dining hall would be closed,
and breakfast and lunch would take place in a different location instead. |
