Stomach virus
Last weekend at church, 17 people came down with the stomach virus and were throwing up on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Some of the children in the nursery came down with it, and I'm wondering if it is safe to take my 2 year old in the nursery tomorrow at church, since children in that room got sick last weekend. Do you think that it's a good possibility that my son could catch the bug from leftover germs in the room or do you think it would be okay since it has been a week?

It can be food poisoning. It is transmitted from uncooked or rotten food. So you can travel anywhere but don't give outside food to your child. Give only home made food or fruits. Use only packaged drinking water or water from home.
