T-Mobile HQ in Bellevue under investigation after norovirus outbreak

BELLEVUE, Wash. — T-Mobile headquarters in Bellevue is at the center of an investigation into an illness at its offices.

King County Public Health says at least 22 people reported suffering a norovirus-like illness. Everyone said they had eaten food last week from D-square hospitality at T-Mobile Marker Hall.

Environmental health investigators say they did not find any risk factors at the site that are known to contribute to the spread but say this is not uncommon for norovirus outbreaks as they can spread through food, surfaces, and person to person.

Investigators say there is no laboratory testing that can be done because people tend to get better within a day or two.

Steps are now underway to safely reopen.
