INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A health official in Indianapolis says a norovirus may have caused hundreds of people to become sick last week after eating at an Olive Garden restaurant.

The virus appeared in samples taken from three restaurant workers and one customer.

Health officials say more than 300 people complained of feeling sick after eating at the restaurant, which remains closed for a fourth day. A spokesman for the Marion County Health Department says the eatery has been cleared to reopen, but he says it's still not clear what caused everyone to get sick.
