According to the article, Burlington County Health Department epidemiologist Jennifer Horner reported that one restaurant in Burlington County reported high counts of the virus. Horner said that six patrons and six members at the restaurant reported contracting the illness. Horner wouldn't name the restaurant but said the case occurred last week and has been resolved.

I don't know about you, but I don't relish the thought of vomiting for two days because I happen to eat at a restaurant with a stomach virus outbreak.

Wouldn't it be a public service to name the restaurant?

Isn't that the job of the Health Department to protect us?
