COLLEGEVILLE, — Officials say a norovirus has been confirmed as the cause of a stomach illness that sickened more than 200 students at Ursinus College last week.

College officials said the Montgomery County Health Department on Monday confirmed cases of norovirus, a contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis or inflammation of the stomach and intestines.

Classes resumed Monday after being canceled Thursday afternoon and Friday. Events during the weekend also were canceled.

The school’s dining hall was closed but reopened after an inspection. Ursinus said “aggressive cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting efforts” will continue through the week.
