As a result, WCSU is conducting what it called "a deep clean of common areas" on Saturday and Sunday.

While the source of the illness has not been identified, symptoms are diarrhea and vomiting.

The university said it is working with the Department Public Health and the Danbury Health Department.

Because that includes the cafeterias, extra shuttles are being made available for trips to food service to midtown on Saturday and will be offered to Westside on Sunday.
