A norovirus outbreak is sweeping through a shelter for wildfire victims in Northern California, potentially causing diarrhea, fever and body aches in anyone who is infected, The Associated Press reports.<\/p>\n
The norovirus is highly contagious and has prompted shelter workers to quarantine infected residents separate from others in the shelter. Staff cleaned the shelter with bleach Wednesday, according to the\u00a0AP<\/a>.<\/p>\n The victims of the virus are likely people displaced by the Camp Fire, the most deadly fire in state history after killing at least\u00a056 people<\/a>. The Camp Fire has wiped out more than 9,000 houses and commercial buildings. It had burned 140,000 acres and was 40 percent contained by Thursday morning, according to the state fire agency\u00a0Cal Fire<\/a>.<\/p>\n Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and\u00a0Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Brock Long met with Democratic Gov.\u00a0Jerry Brown<\/a>\u00a0and emergency officials in California Wednesday. The Trump administration officials surveyed the wreckage of the Camp Fire, especially around Paradise, a town of about 27,000 that was\u00a095 percent<\/a>\u00a0destroyed by the Camp Fire.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery time I come to California I say this is the worst fire I\u2019ve seen. Once again this is the absolute worst,\u201d Zinke\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in Wednesday tweet. \u201cWorse than any war zone I saw in Iraq. The heroism of firefighters is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll be here for several years working this disaster,\u201d Long\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0at a press conference after surveying Paradise, according to NBC News.<\/p>\n Trucks destroyed by the Camp Fire are seen in Paradise, California, U.S., November 14, 2018.

It has killed at least two people and razed 600 structures, according to Cal Fire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
